What is Re-Entry Court?

The Re-Entry Court Program is voluntary, supervised, sanction and incentive based comprehensive court program. The target population of the Re-entry Court Program consists of incarcerated individuals who, through their attorneys, request reconsideration of sentences, and those with substance abuse related offenses or dependency who request a commitment under Section 8-507 of the Maryland Health General Article. 

Upon admission, participants are committed to court order treatment and enter into a treatment program in the local Department of Corrections. Thereafter, they transition to the community with intensive supervision and case management. Participants shall attend regular court hearings before a Presiding Judge, maintain curfew, participate in substance abuse treatment, participate in frequent, random, and monitored drug testing and intensive case management provided by the case manager and the Health Department.
