Panel
The Victim Impact panel Program, is where
DWI and MIP Offenders gather to view and
hear from people (victims) whose lives have
been shattered because of intoxicated
drivers. Persons who have been sentenced by
the court to attend, have the opportunity to
hear the story of real people who have been
victims. The VIP, sponsored by Stop DWI,
Inc. has two goals.
1. To make an impact upon the DWI/MIP
Offender, and hope they walk away with
something that will help them make a
better choice regarding alcohol and
additional drugs.
2. The Panel is a way for the victim to heal.
Telling their story helps the healing process.
Victims simply tell their story in a
non-confrontational, judgmental manner,
sometimes breaking into tears as they
remember loved ones needlessly killed by an
intoxicated driver. Pictures of loved ones are
shown, and information about the deadly
combination of alcohol and driving is shared
with the offenders.
Stop DWI, Inc wants to make a difference. It
hurts to lose a loved one, and our prayer is
that those participating offenders will
remember what was shared and cease to
drive intoxicated again, and even share the
information with others.
