You believe in creating a fair and equitable legal system that focuses on rehabilitation, reducing recidivism, and addressing the root causes of crime.
Justice Reform is a political ideology that advocates for changes in the criminal justice system to make it more equitable, efficient, and effective. It seeks to address issues such as mass incarceration, racial disparities, police brutality, and the death penalty, among others. The ideology is rooted in the belief that the current justice system is flawed and needs significant changes to ensure fairness and justice for all, regardless of race, gender, or socioeconomic status.
The history of Justice Reform as a political ideology can be traced back to the 18th century during the Enlig…

If you had to argue for or against life sentences, which side would you choose, and why?
@9L2PJQ312mos12MO
I would argue that life sentences should be limited to serious crimes like murder and rape
@9L2WGFT12mos12MO
I do not agree that rape is a serious crime, it does not fall into the same category as murder. Murder is a serious crime and therefore should be a life sentence. Rape is a crime as well, but I don't feel like someone should be sent to prison for life.
@9L2VP6912mos12MO
25-30 years in a cell is enough time to change a person, and make them atone, especially in a future system that is reformed to focus on rehabilitation
@9L2P2RT12mos12MO
Against, if they get life they might as well just die
@9L2P4Z912mos12MO
life sentences because some people dont change and cant be aloud back
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
If you were unfairly accused of something you didn’t do, how would you want others to respond, and how does this relate to your views on wrongful convictions?
@9JHVW9V1yr1Y
I would want everyone to try their hardest to show that I am not guilty.
@9JHVC681yr1Y
I would wish to be given a fair trial along with the belief that I was innocent until proven guilty.
@9JHVC43Independent1yr1Y
I would want people to support me and know i didnt do anything wrong and revolt
I believe people should be able to get a re-trial or request a new judge if needed.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
Should non-violent drug offenders receive treatment rather than incarceration?
@9H35HJR1yr1Y
depends o the situation but in some cases focusing on treatment rather than punishment can be more effective in addressing addiction and helping individuals get back on track
@9H3597M 1yr1Y
Yes, I do believe they should receive treatment. If they were non-violent, then they should be given treatment to fight their addiction.
@9H34R8X1yr1Y
Yes I think this would largely benefit most offenders.
@9H357YH1yr1Y
I think they should receive treatment and incarceration. Drugs have been proved to have negative effects on people and to prevent it spreading to the younger generations, drug offenders should be treated and put into incarceration to show a more strict stance against drugs. The younger generation is the hope for the future of our country and we shouldn't expose them to illegal drugs since it would prevent them from being the best version of themselves.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
What's one change you'd propose to make our justice system less intimidating for people who are going through it?
@9KMZPKS12mos12MO
Not much change can occur without any sort of backlash
@9KN9JMM12mos12MO
The question wasn't whether or not people would agree with the change. Rather one of what type of change would benefit the most when it comes to making the justice system less scary for people going through it. To answer the question, I think that when people are being represented, it's made clear to them that the best efforts will be made for them.
@9KN9F5G12mos12MO
if we change it there's gonna be a chance that the crime rate will go up to high or the people will be scared and we will give to much power to the police and government
Backlash from common people? At the end of the day your in charge and you must do what’s necessary to help your people.
@9KMZJFK12mos12MO
A change that is needed is guaranteeing ballot access for voters impacted by this system.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
If you were to mentor a young person at risk of criminal behavior, what guidance would you offer?
@9J2V7FT1yr1Y
I would give them the advice to be honest and take their punishment in stride and learn from there mistakes. take their bad experience and evolve from that point.
@9J2VTXX1yr1Y
It depends on what kind of criminal behavior, but generally I'd say to avoid any future engagement in criminal behavior possible.
@9J2V26SRepublican1yr1Y
was to prevent criminal behavior and stay out of it
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
Do you feel that the justice system treats individuals from different backgrounds equally?
No. everyone should be getting treated equally, there are still many racial people out there.
@9H359FH1yr1Y
No, I don't believe that the justice system treats individuals from different backgrounds equally because they have constantly proven otherwise in the past.
@9H35C5G1yr1Y
Fully 58% of Americans say the criminal justice system fails to treat all individuals equally.
@9H35X541yr1Y
No, too much racial bias and racism plague this country.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
Should juvenile offenders be handled differently than adults in the justice system?
@9H3597M 1yr1Y
Yes, considering that they are still young and do not know any better in life; HOWEVER, if they have committed murder or rape, they should be trialed as an adult.
@9H35YXB1yr1Y
Yes but depends on act and the severity of the crime
@9H35HJR1yr1Y
juvenile offenders should be handled differently than adults in the justice system
@9H359FH1yr1Y
Yes, they should be handled differently than adults in the justice system.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
How would you feel if society judged you solely on the worst thing you've ever done?
@9HHFZK91yr1Y
It would not be fair because a person can change over the course of their life. They can seek reform and become a better person.
@9HHFZCW1yr1Y
Would'nt be fare because i think everyone makes mistakes
@9HHFQ5YRepublican 1yr1Y
I would not want to be there allso it would make me angry because no person should judge another our only judge is God himself.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
What are the ethical implications of the death penalty in a modern justice system?
@9H3597M 1yr1Y
Depressing when you realize that while there are criminals that deserve the death penalty, there are those who get wrongly accused and unfortunately serve it.
its hard to take a life but its almost understandable when they've done unspeakable things.
@9H35C5G1yr1Y
Major arguments against the death penalty focus on its inhumaneness, lack of deterrent effect, continuing racial and economic biases, and irreversibility.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
Would you support a justice system that puts more emphasis on community service and restorative practices than incarceration?
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
In what ways might technology be used to improve fairness and reduce bias within the justice system?
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
Can a community play a role in rehabilitating offenders, and if so, how?
@9H35NXS1yr1Y
I feel like if anyone has been convicted of any charges that he has not done and has damaged his imaged they should at least help him rebuild all of that he has lost do to someone who convicted him out of pure hatred towards them.
@9H34Y7M1yr1Y
Yes, by helping them understand the right and wrong.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
Do you think prisons should focus more on education and skill development for inmates?
@9H352Q81yr1Y
Yes, because they have already been put in there for a certain amount of time. Should be able to educate themselves.
@9H34TX61yr1Y
Prisons were made to deprive people of their freedom who committed crimes as a form of punishment and because they can be dangerous to good people. I think those programs you have. In order to reform prisoners, they must be done with a prior evaluation of the prisoner's background and the current situation in which they find themselves. Likewise, those programs/reforms must have the power to choose the prisoners they want to be part of.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
How would you feel if you were punished for a mistake you made years ago with no chance of showing you've changed?
You do the crime you do the time. You could’ve changed but you still committed that crime.
@9H5MNDV1yr1Y
You do the crime you do the time. You could’ve changed but you still committed that crime.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
How can we as a society provide meaningful support to people who have made mistakes and are trying to change?
@ISIDEWITH12mos12MO
How can your school or community better educate people about their rights when facing legal challenges?
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
Can you recall an act of kindness that fundamentally changed someone's behavior and what does it suggest about punitive versus compassionate approaches?
@9KHWNCW12mos12MO
I think compassionate approaches can be much more constructive to the individual and the community. It helps give criminals the idea that they are being approached for rehabilitation rather than punishment.
@9KHWGCK12mos12MO
The country coming together to give a cancer patient one chance at being batman for a whole day.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
How would your approach to second chances differ for someone convicted of a crime versus a friend who betrayed your trust?
@9JKPPKY1yr1Y
Someone who was convicted of a crime could do a lot home dangerous stuff
@9JKP8JNLibertarian1yr1Y
Someone who was convicted of a crime could do a lot home dangerous stuff.
@ISIDEWITH12mos12MO
Do you think volunteer work with affected individuals could change public opinion on justice reform?
@9L2N3QV12mos12MO
yes I think volunteer work could change public opinions on justice reform
@9L2MZT5Progressive 12mos12MO
No, volunteers are doing work because of their love and passion for it not to gain public opinion on justice reform.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
In what ways do you think your background and experiences have shaped your views on the justice system?
@9HJXJ9L1yr1Y
I have seen what the worst of humanity has to offer society when left unchecked and the decriminalization of violent and dangerous crime, open door prison systems and the failure of the justice system to rehabilitate offenders when they sentence criminals. The justice system instead creates worse offenders when it releases them back into a world where they have no other options for prosperity but to return to prison or a life of crime on the streets.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
@ISIDEWITH12mos12MO
How would you design a support program for ex-inmates to successfully reintegrate into society?
@ISIDEWITH12mos12MO
Why do you think some communities distrust the justice system, and what can be done to rebuild that trust?
Because it’s **** ing racist. Rebuild and more training that is not cringe or over exaggerated.
@9KWL2N812mos12MO
I think some people distrust the justice system because it
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
How would you redesign the justice system to prevent people from committing crimes in the first place?
@9HD48TG1yr1Y
I'd focus less on the justice system and more on the underlying causes of crime. It's both a social and economic issue.
