The North Carolina Department of Adult Correction has announced North Carolina is the first state to develop a dashboard to track progress made toward objectives, strategies, and metrics established in its Reentry 2030 Strategic Plan. North Carolina’s plan was released in August 2024 by the state’s Joint Reentry Council.
