North Dakota’s reentry system is smaller and more centralized, with services coordinated through the Department of Corrections & Rehabilitation and its Transition Centers in Fargo, Bismarck, and Grand Forks. Transitional housing options are limited, so many returning citizens rely on sober-living homes, halfway programs, or faith-based shelters. Workforce support runs through Job Service North Dakota career centers and vocational training partnerships, with strong placement pipelines in oilfield support, trucking, construction, and manufacturing. Record sealing eligibility is narrow, and petitions typically go through district courts. Successful reentry often depends on connecting early with parole officers, local reentry coalitions, and regional nonprofits to secure housing referrals, transportation support, and job placement help.
