Program – Bowen Center’s work with re-entry court, Mike Murphy, Senior Leadership Director, Bowen Center. Mike shared with us how re-entry or problem solving court works. Collaborative justice courts-also known as problem-solving courts- combine judicial supervision with rehabilitation services that are rigorously monitored and focused on recovery to reduce recidivism and improve offender outcomes.
