The Dui Hua Partners Luncheon was held on October 22, 2011 in San Francisco to provide an update on Dui Hua’s expanded mission to meet the needs of more at-risk detainees—youth and women offenders, as well as political and religious prisoners. In the area of juvenile justice, Dui Hua hopes to organize a third expert exchange with China’s Supreme People’s Court. The first two exchanges, held in 2008 and 2010, is already leading to reform of China’s juvenile justice system, resulting in rehabilitative measures that would put fewer juveniles in prison and facilitate their reentry into society. In September Executive Director John Kamm made his third trip to China this year and met with senior Chinese officials to discuss this and other programs.
The audience’s distinguished guests include Judge Susan Etezadi, Judge Elizabeth Lee, Chief Probation Officer Stuart Forest and Juvenile Program Mediation Manager David Cherniss from San Mateo, Judge Lillian Sing, Judge Julie Tang, Judge Samuel Feng, Judge Garrett Wong and Assistant Chief Probation Officer Allen Nance from San Francisco, Dean Frank Wu and Professor Carol Izumi from UC Hasting, and others devoted to the advancement of rights in China. Dui Hua is grateful for their participation and involvement.
