The U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware is mulling the creation of a federal re-entry court with the goal of reducing recidivism by improving the supervision of recently released inmates and providing services that will assist offenders with their reintegration into society.
Currently, the district court is working with a committee, which includes representatives from the Federal Public Defender’s Office and the U.S. Attorney’s Office. The committee is developing a proposal for the re-entry court, which would likely launch in late fall of 2012. The court will be supervised by U.S. Magistrate Judge Christopher J. Burke of the District of Delaware and is expected to include between 10 to 15 participants, all of whom would be individuals who have recently completed their federal term of incarceration and who are classified as “high risk.”
