reentry courts

Reentry courts are specialized court systems designed to support individuals transitioning out of incarceration and back into the community. They focus on reducing recidivism by providing services like job training, substance abuse treatment, and mental health support. Rather than merely punishing individuals for violations of their release conditions, reentry courts aim to address the underlying issues that contribute to criminal behavior. Participants receive guidance and encouragement from judges and court staff, fostering accountability while promoting successful reintegration into society. The goal is to help these individuals rebuild their lives and reduce the likelihood of returning to prison.
