Serious and Violent Offender Reentry
Initiative Grantees
North Carolina Department of Corrections (Amount: $1,300,000*)
The North Carolina Department of Corrections plans to establish
a statewide network of government agencies, community- and faith-based
organizations, businesses, and citizens committed to successful
offender transition and reentry. Along with its core partners and
local networks, the department will develop individualized case
plans for each offender, beginning the process a year or more prior
to the offender’s release. The initiative will target adult offenders
(ages 18–35) released from a prison facility on community service,
regular parole, DWI parole, and postrelease supervision. Offenders
released in these categories must comply with conditions established
by the Post-Release Supervision and Parole Commission. These conditions
will be enforced by supervising probation/parole officers in the
community. Standard release conditions will be modified to include
participation in the reentry program.
Local contact: Virginia Price, 919–716–3758.

Prevention (Amount: $700,000*)
