restorative justice. we want people to serve fair sentences and return home to be a contributing member of their communities. not locked away for a lifetime of slave labor.

Criminal justice is actually a fitting oxymoron. Justice in America is often criminal.

At this point I don't think "justice" is an apt descriptor either, since that is what is seriously lacking in most cases.

It's tough to separate criminal out of the phrase. Just referring to justice is not enough; you can find justice in civil & administrative courts, mediation, arbitration, etc. IMO it's important to destigmatize the criminal context. It's a category of law, not a label of guilt.

i like to say "reforming the incarceration industry"

How about simply "justice"? We're working on justice reform, which includes everything from the cop on the block to the prosecutors, judges and jails.

What I don’t understand is republicans are up in arms about any possible unmasking Americans colluding with Russians but perfectly fine with sessions showing private texts of an FBI agent to reporters. Is it just me or is there a double standard here

Alternatives?

Justice is a misnomer as well.

Do you have thoughts on a better one? My wife works in this field, btw. She's smarter than me about it.

Law enforcement industry.

I mean, does another word highlight the contrast between it and the civil system?
