Resumen
This article focuses on Restorative Justice (RJ) procedures which take place after conviction. The background is an EU-funded action research project2 and long lasting personal involvement in RJ, victimology and criminal justice, including the prison system. To provide a basis some core elements of RJ are outlined before differences between its application at pre and post-sentencing levels are discussed. Then six different practice programs are presented and a special focus is put on the prison context. What has been achieved will be evaluated in relation to where difficulties have to be overcome, which challenges have to be faced; and which counterforces have to be addressed. These counterforces are opposed to an extension of RJ in general and at the post-sentencing level in particular. The contribution ends with recommendations which emerge from the discussion of these topics.
