8. What does criminal justice reform mean to you?
BONNER: DID NOT RESPOND

LOGAN:
Criminal Justice means emphasizing reform instead of "revictimization" of the offender. There needs to be less bureaucracy in the juvenile and criminal justice system. I would like to see more emphasis placed on reentry programs that promote healthy transitions back into society in addition to improving the efficiency for inmate release.
