incarceration kicks off today at Centennial Hall.

And thanks to the sponsorship of the EXEL Foundation, the hosts for the event will make a video of the seminar on Crime and its Effect on the Bermuda Community.

Prison Fellowship Bermuda is using the conference as an opportunity to upgrade its existing research and recommendations. It will be attended by Bermuda, Bahamas, Barbados, The Cayman Islands, USA and Canada.

A series of workshops will also be held and these will be boosted by the presence of Steve Varnham, a leading authority on restorative justice, and Prison Fellowship International (PFI) president Ron Nikkel.

The video of the five-day event will be exported to the other 85 countries who make up PFI.
