Austin-Gatson highlighted restorative justice programs aimed at lowering recidivism rates in her presentation to the county’s 2023 budget Citizens Review Team on Wednesday. One of those programs is the Rehabilitation Enhances Dreams program, also known as the R.E.D. program, and the other is the Ryzer program.

“Both of these are up and running, and we need to keep them going,” Austin-Gatson told the review team.


Funding for the R.E.D. and Ryzer programs was a key part of the district attorney’s budget requests, also known as decision packages, for 2023. She is seeking $125,000 for the R.E.D. program and $40,000 for the Ryzer program.
