How was the French justice system portrayed throughout the movie ?

I can only relate this question to the book. There are multiple justice systems in the book. Generally, the justice system is unfair turning good innocent people into beggars and criminals. Hugo focuses on three areas that particularly need reform: education, criminal justice, and the treatment of women. We see all of these areas exploited by the courts and unscrupulous people in the justice system. . The character of Valjean reveals how the French criminal-justice system transforms a simple bread thief into a criminal that he was never meant to be.
