WHY: For problem-solving court graduates, the ceremony marks the completion of an intensive program of comprehensive behavioral health treatment, intensive community supervision, and full accountability.
Problem-Solving courts are an alternate route through the criminal justice system for nonviolent drug-related offenders, which utilize a specialized team process that functions within the existing court structure. The courts are designed to achieve a reduction in recidivism and substance use among individuals with substance use disorders. The court’s goal is to protect public safety and increase the participant’s likelihood of successful rehabilitation by utilizing validated risk and need assessments, early and individualized behavioral health treatment, frequent and random chemical testing, incentives, sanctions, and other rehabilitative and ancillary services.
HOW: For interviews or additional information, please contact Skye Lindgreen, District 9 Problem-Solving Court Coordinator, at (308) 379-0594 or skye.lindgreen@nebraska.gov.
This is an Reentry Court graduation. Nebraska Reentry Courts are designed for high-risk and high-need individuals who are reentering society from incarceration on a term Post-Release Supervision.
