Reform through labor

Reform through labor or reeducation through labor, which one makes sense?

it seems that the two words are a little chinglish

Can a native English speaker understand them? or what do they mean in the opinon of a native English speaker

Hi jewellery, I'll take the liberty to presume that you are talking about people who are under carceration, am I correct? If that's the case, I think "reform" and "reeducation" both can make sense with the right context. There is nothing "Chinglish" about these two words.
