Documentary footage reveals the impact of the criminal justice system on veterans today. Learn more about Veteran Treatment Courts, created in 2008, and how this alternative to the mainstream legal system provides treatment and accountability plans for justice-involved veterans. Get a closer look at some of the growing number of dedicated veteran cellblocks in prisons and jails across the country.
