Welcome to www.ncreap.com virtual home to The North Carolina Re-Entry Action Project.




NC R.E.A.P. is established to advocate for the successful re-entry of ex-offenders into their communities by empowering individuals, agencies, and organizations with information, research and the promotion of evidence-based public policy.

NC R.E.A.P. does not provide direct services but rather serves as a resource bank for ex-offenders. Four committees have been established to address the needs of those seeking a second chance.

  1. Employment and Mentoring
  2. Policy and Research
  3. Resource and Development
  4. Community Outreach

For the first time, more than one in every 100 Americans is incarcerated; however, for Blacks and Latinos, that number is significantly higher.

A study conducted by the Pew Center on the States, found that among Latino men, one in every 36 is incarcerated. One in every 15 Black men is incarcerated. When the study looked at Black men ages 20--34, the incarceration rate jumped 40 percent to one in every nine, compared to one in every 106 white men.

It is expected that over the next ten years 650,000 persons per year will return to the community. This represents a bountiful harvest of untapped talent, skills, gifts, and abilities.


The North Carolina Re-Entry Action Project is here to help you R.E.A.P. that harvest and enjoy the fruit that lies--beyond freedom...
