Abstract: 

With the explicit intention of reducing recidivism and assisting ex-offenders, reentry courts clearly have the potential to embody the principles of therapeutic jurisprudence in the same way that drug treatment courts often do. Reentry court advocates also hope that these courts will achieve the level of popular and political support that drug courts have enjoyed. This article helps progress the reentry court narrative by providing a conceptual framework and explaining the benefits of this system.
