justice - quotes and descriptions to inspire creative writing

"You say you honour justice but in truth it's just ice, your Honour.

Swift justice is "just-ice," it takes longer to use empathy, to use warmth over icy logic. It's not only lazy and cruel to throw all these kids in jail, it's stupid. We know how trauma alters the brain and how patient and dependable love heals it. So please, no more "just-ice," let's have "just-nurture."
