Abstract
This comment will focus on one of the first established reentry courts-the Harlem Reentry Court ("HRC")-by evaluating its effectiveness with the basic principles of therapeutic jurisprudence. Section II provides general background on all the relevant topics: therapeutic jurisprudence, problem-solving courts, and reentry courts. Section III specifically focuses on the background, formation, and strategies of the HRC. Section IV gives an in-depth analysis of HRC's process, and how recognizing and further incorporating therapeutic practices could increase its success. Finally, Section V will conclude the argument by advocating for nationwide exposure and implementation of reentry courts for parolees around the country with a greater emphasis on therapeutic jurisprudence.
