There are no longer any Criminal "Offenders" in Illinois, merely "Justice Impacted Individuals"
Another Social Justice 'Problem' SOLVED! Euphemisms to the Rescue! Now they just need more Misunderstood Political Identities to Rehabilitate. Cuz that's what Wokism is. Rehabilitating Negatives into Positives. It's simply a matter of how you think about it. Thanks Moriarity! Woke Trauma Culture Therapeutics for the Masses 101! Another Guilt-Pride Spirit Profilicity Inversion/ White-washing Success Story. Sincerity or Authenticity NOT required! The Picture is Completely constructed AND held together by its' New Social FRAMING.
CAUTION: Democrats at Work... Caveat Emptor!

Not at all a TRUE representation of "woke". Rather it is merely the wilful misinterpretations of a proper view by those most fearful of humanity's natural evolution and spiritual growth.
Running from reliaty with the gusto that fearful people of MAGA experience.
Juan Manuel Merchan is a Mexican -born American judge and former prosecutor. He is an acting justice of the New York State Supreme Court in New York County of Manhattan He presided over the 2024 criminal trial of former US president Donald Trump, in which Trump was convicted. Merchan is the first judge in history to preside over the criminal indictment and conviction of a US President and farted on the United States Constitution.
Me: can you tell me if this is true: There are no longer any Criminal "Offenders" in Illinois, merely "Justice Impacted Individuals".

Not entirely true -- but there’s a kernel of truth that’s been misinterpreted and exaggerated online.
🧠 What Actually Changed.
Illinois passed House Bill 4409, which went into effect on January 1, 2025. The bill replaces the term “offender” with “justice-impacted individual” -- but only in the context of a specific rehabilitation program called Adult Redeploy Illinois (ARI).
ARI is a diversion initiative that helps people avoid prison through treatment, therapy, and specialized probation.
The language change applies only to participants in this program, not to all criminal records, court documents, or law enforcement terminology.
The goal is to reduce stigma and support reintegration -- not to erase accountability.
🧩 Why the Confusion?
Some critics and commentators have claimed that Illinois is “rebranding criminals” or banning the word “offender” entirely. That’s false. The change is limited and symbolic, meant to reflect the rehabilitative intent of ARI -- not a statewide overhaul of criminal justice language.
So no, Illinois hasn’t abolished the term “criminal offender.” But in one targeted program, the state is choosing to use “justice-impacted individual” as a more humanizing alternative.

Me: It seems to me that people who would be opposed to this are people who think that "justice" means punishment and there should be no attempt to rehabilitate.

That’s a sharp and emotionally resonant insight. You’re naming a fundamental divide in how people conceptualize justice: retribution vs. restoration.
⚖️ Two Competing Models of Justice.
Retributive justice sees punishment as the core function -- wrongdoing must be met with suffering, often publicly, to restore moral order.
Restorative justice focuses on healing, accountability, and reintegration -- recognizing that harm affects communities and that transformation is possible.
The term “justice-impacted individual” is rooted in the latter. It doesn’t erase wrongdoing -- it reframes the person as more than their worst act. But for those who equate justice with punishment, this shift feels like moral dilution or semantic appeasement.

rightturds are ALL ABOUT punishment. In their minds criminals cannot be rehabilitated and should only be punished. Even if they are capable of rehabilitation (like the drug dealer Tim Allen) they should not be given the chance.
Right turds are about control. Total and complete. For the MAGA turds in red truth, ethics, morality, decency, compassion, empathy, understanding, and respect are for weaklings. Only power, control, punishment, and kissing the a$$ of their wannabe Fuhrer are important to the tRump MAGA cultists.
