prison reformers
Justice system activists
Prison reformers are people who advocate for changes to the prison system, typically seeking more humane conditions, rehabilitation over punishment, or alternatives to incarceration.
The term applies across the political spectrum—from those pushing for better healthcare and reduced solitary confinement to abolitionists who want prisons eliminated entirely: Prison reformers have long argued that rehabilitation reduces recidivism.
