• Discuss: Do you think it’s more important for the justice system to punish offenders or to rehabilitate them? (To rehabilitate means to help a person get back on track—through training, counseling, or opportunities).

How does your own viewpoint reflect your core values? (Note: It might be helpful to brainstorm core values as a group first. What do people value? For example, fairness, honesty, growth, second chances, etc.)
