Ep. 21 Recovery Courts

Tennessee Supreme Court, Administrative Office of the Courts Episode 21

Prisons are filled with non-violent offenders who normally spend most of their lives incarcerated and have high rates of recidivism, often due to addiction. Recovery courts are opportunities for qualified inmates to overcome adversity through rehabilitative alternatives to prison. Circuit Court Judge Tammy Herrington of the 5th Judicial District, Criminal Court Judge Jim Goodwin of the 2nd Judicial District, Circuit Court Judge Beth Boniface of the 3rd Judicial District  and Circuit Court Judge Mike Pemberton of the 9th Judicial District sit down  to discuss these programs offered in Tennessee.

This podcast is for all audiences and Barbara Peck is your host.
