Though this is my first interview with Sakai, his reputation as a district court judge and community advocate precedes him.
"They renamed it the Chinese [Tea] Garden and tried to eliminate that history of what this Japanese American family did," Sakai says. During his 26 consecutive years as a district court judge, Sakai focused on the principles of restorative justice, creating programs such as a family drug court, early childhood court and a college-bound docket that put foster kids in a college pipeline.
"Going into my senior year of high school, my father took me on a family road trip to California in the old station wagon, and we stopped in the internment camp where he grew up, a God-forsaken place called Poston, Arizona in the middle of the Mojave Desert," Sakai says."He stopped and showed us this desert area. 'This is where I grew up.' I was struck with, what do you mean 'grew up?' This is just a desert. There's nothing here.
