PC: The Justice Department announced a plan to throw $1.75 million at young criminals in hopes that they don’t become adult criminals.But you’d never know that given the linguistic fog the DOJ has conjured up.
A press release issued earlier this week describes a new $1.75 million grant program as designed “to help young people involved in the justice system find jobs and housing.”
Wait, you ask, if these young people are “involved” in the justice system, doesn’t that mean they already have jobs?
Like, say, as a trainee in the dispatcher’s office, or a desk clerk in the attorney general’s office, or maybe a janitor at the local courthouse?
Not exactly.
In this case, “justice-involved youth” is what we’re now supposed to call juvenile delinquents, also known as young criminals..."
