Description
Introduces victim's point of view to convicted DWI offenders. When victim's statements are told in person, from the heart, in neither blaming or accusatory way, it may enable offender, perhaps for first time, to consider the pain and suffering drinking can cause others; seeks to help offender move beyond focusing on their own "bad luck"; may serve as first step in breaking down denial of offender's mind which may replay when drinking and driving is again an option; may change behavior and save lives.
