RALEIGH — The state of North Carolina will partner with the Council of State Government’s Justice Center to take a broad look at the state’s corrections system to see if money can be reinvested in strategies that reduce crime.
“Our prison population is growing at a faster rate than the rest of our state,” said Rep. Alice Bordsen, D-Alamance, who sees the study as an opportunity to reduce prison recidivism rates.
“There’s no magic bullet,” Bordsen said. “There won’t be overnight changes and it won’t be easy.”
