Jasmine
The truancy coordinator at Oakland High School. Kaprice is from the streets of Oakland, and after her first love, Lil’ Jerry, an active member in one of the city’s gangs, is killed in a shooting, she goes to college and turns her life around. Kaprice and Richard have a special relationship, and Richard benefits from the structure and family-like atmosphere of Kaprice’s program at Oakland High. With Kaprice’s help, Richard is able to bring his grades up and make graduation a real possibility, and she is able to help other students with the same goal. Cherie, and others, refer to Kaprice as “Mom,” and they rely on her for guidance and stability. Kaprice uses restorative justice to help the Oakland High students heal after Richard’s assault on Sasha, and her efforts serve as an example of the benefits of restorative justice.

Their life is so good, they think everybody’s life is good. They don’t understand the struggles people go through. I don’t know where you grew up at, if it’s like a low-income area, where there’s lots of violence and crime. But if you grew up in a low-income area and all you see is crime and drugs? If you have family that does crime? You see it. It has an impact on you. If you’re around it a lot, it’s hard to do good.”
