Abstract: In this paper, I introduce two of the leading theories of social justice put forth by John Rawls and David Miller. Then, I assess criminal justice practice, from law-making to corrections, in terms of ways in which it is consistent and inconsistent with these theories of social justice. Throughout the paper, I also identify ways in which criminal justice practice is inconsistent with social justice. I make recommendations for reforming criminal justice to make it more consistent with social justice.
