ANNOTATION: Those wanting to implement a reentry court in their community can use this report to show how such courts greatly benefit public safety. Six chapters follow an executive summary: introduction; the state of prisoner reentry; the reentry court model; study design and analysis plan; results according to recidivism and reincarceration rates, months to rearrest/revocation, role of duration, and predictors of completion/graduation (prior behavior seems to indicate future behavior); and discussion and conclusion. “The findings indicate that the Reentry Court program has a positive impact with regard to preventing new criminal behavior—rearrests and revocations” (p.29).
