Imagine Justice
Imagine Justice, the ethical true crime podcast, released April 22, 2025.
What does justice look like, beyond the confines of State-administered carceral punishment? In Imagine Justice we hear true stories, told by the people who lived them, of irreparable harm followed by reconciliation.
These stories invite us into the possibility- and reality- of a justice that is co-created by victims, perpetrators, and survivors of violence and their communities. Each of our storytellers navigates toward peace differently, but they all give us insights that can transform the way we think about and approach justice.
Imagine Justice is created by musician, songwriter, and artist Zeo Boekbinder, whose interest in exploring processes of Transformative and Restorative Justice is informed by their time teaching and writing songs alongside incarcerated men at New Folsom Prison, which culminated in the creation of The Prison Music Project.

Imagine Justice
I am working on a podcast about reconciliation and alternative forms of justice like restorative and transformative justice, and Navajo Peacemaking. Living in a culture that defaults to punishment and vengeance, I aim to highlight stories of coming back together after harm. Given that harm is inevitable, I hope to promote the possibility of healing instead of further harm as a reaction. I am seeking stories of reconciliation. In most cases (but not always) this looks like a face-to-face conversation between the survivor and the perpetrator, with a mediator, to communicate about the harm and find answers and/or resolution.
