In early July 2026, the Mato Grosso do Sul court began internal reforms by transferring its first magistrate and establishing a team of interviewers to record child testimony, signaling a focus on procedural modernization and child protection. Later that month, the court expanded its reform agenda through a partnership with the Santa Casa hospital, integrating an inmate‑rehabilitation program that enables sentenced prisoners to work in hospital sectors, aiming to improve vocational training and facilitate social reintegration.

Together, these initiatives illustrate the court's broader effort to enhance judicial operations, protect vulnerable witnesses, and promote alternative sentencing within the state’s justice system.
