Approximately 40 participants in the Baltimore City District Court Re-Entry Project (DCREP) will be recognized for their successful completion of the program on Wednesday, October 24, at a ceremony presided by District Judge Nicole Pastore Klein.

More than 95 participants have completed the program to date.
