I think our criminal justice system has two problems. We have systematic problems and we have people problems. So if the hearts of people are not about justice than any system you have won't work.
Interpretation
What this quote means
The effectiveness of the criminal justice system relies on both systemic and personal integrity regarding justice.
Maya Moore emphasizes that the challenges faced by the criminal justice system stem from both structural issues and the values of individuals within the system. If those individuals lack a genuine commitment to justice, then even the most well-designed systems will fail to achieve their intended purpose.
