Slide1

Canada’s Prison SystemSlide2

Entering Prison

Prison/Incarceration is a very polarizing issue. It is also a very political issue

Conservative rhetoric- more jails, more sentences, throw people in jail

Liberal rhetoric- protect the public by looking at the causes of crime, treat all people humanely

#1: (post 2005) Prisoners should remain in prison for as long as possible (classical criminal theory)

#2: Offenders are partially shaped by society therefore the prison system should work to rehabilitate them (sociological and other various modern theories)Slide3

Entering Prison

CSC (Correctional Services Canada) controls the prison system (provincial and federal jurisdiction)

Provincial- serve less than 2 years (or awaiting trial)

Federal- serve more than 2 years

Correctional service regulations are controlled provincially- this mean each province can have its own corrections regulations (why?)

CSC is responsible for the following: incarcerating, processing parole applications and running probations servicesSlide4

Provincial/Federal Jails

Provincial Institutions:

Closed custody- dangerous offenders, likely to escape, or are hard to manage

Open custody- inmates are allowed an opportunity to work

Community Correctional Centers- inmates can work, go to school by day and return at night

Maximum, Medium and Minimum securitySlide5

How are Inmates Assigned?

After sentencing offenders are assessed for their level of risk and their need for rehabilitation

Risk of escape is considered

Availability of rehab

Location of offender’s family, culture and language is considered

Those convicted of 1

st

or 2

nd

degree murder must serve 2 years at a maximum security prison before applying to a lower facilitySlide6
