The Correctional Service of Canada

(CSC) is an integral part of the Canadian

criminal justice system. It comes under

the Ministry of the Solicitor General,

which also includes the Royal Canadian

Mounted Police, the National Parole Board

(NPB), the Canadian Security Intelligence

Service, the Ministry Secretariat and

the Office of the Correctional Investigator.

The CSC is responsible for administering

prison terms of two years or more. This

re(- ponsibility encompasses both the

management of institutions at various

security levels, and the supervision

of offenders to whom the NPB has

granted conditional release.

The CSC reports to the Commissioner

of Corrections and comprises three

management levels: National

Headquarters, Regional Headquarters

and the operational units. The latter

are the institutions and the districts,

including parole offices and

Community Correctional

Centres (CCCs).

CSC policies are developed,

communicated and implemented

by National Headquarters in Ottawa,

which provides assistance to

the five regions: Atlantic, Quebec,

Ontario, Prairie and Pacific.

he Correctional Service of Canada in the Quebec Region

In Quebec, the CSC is responsible for the custody of approximately 3,600 offenders in 11 penitentiaries, and the supervision of about 3,200 individuals on day or full parole in six Community Correctional Centres and 14 parole offices; these are all organized into two districts covering the entire province. I The National Parole Board, an agency

independent of the Correctional Service, has exclusive jurisdiction and absolute discretion

11 to grant, deny or revoke parole and statutory release programs for inmates. The Service and the Board work closely together in managing sentences under federal jurisdiction.

Relations with Other Components of the Criminal Justice System

In its day-to-day activities, the CSC is called upon to work hand in hand with the other components of the criminal justice system. The Service has

entered into service agreements with various community organizations like grouphomes and the Phillipe-Pinel Institute.

The CSC participates in various round tables that bring together representatives of legal and paralegal agencies and provide the Service with the opportunity to make its Mission and management practices known, seek adyice as required, and keep abreast of the activfies

of its partners in the criminal justiz£ %tem.

Crime Victims

CSC recognizes the importance of maintaining good communication with crime victims; in fact the Corrections and Conditional Release Act officially recognizes individuals who have been victims of crime.

Victims may provide information if they wish. When a victim asks for it, the CSC and the NPB must provide technical information, mostly of a technical nature, concerning the start date of the sentence and the eligibility dates for various types of release. In other circumstances, and if it is in the victim's interest, the CSC and the NPB may consider sharing information of a more personal nature with the victim. In some cases, CSC may enlist the victim's assistance in the evaluation process. Both the CSC and the NPB make use of information provided by victims to help them in the decision-making process.

A victim may also ask to attend the parole hearing as an observer. Permission will be granted if the NPB is of the opinion that the victim's presence will not hinder proceedings, make those who have provided information uncomfortable, or jeopardize the security of the institution.

The CSC has designated a person in each

parole office and correctional facility, as well as at Regional Headquarters, to work with crime victims.

These relations lead to service exchange

agreements with provincial departments, for example Public Security, Justice, Education,

Health and Social Services, Quebec Association of Social Rehabilitation Agencies and "Association des résidences communautaires du Québec.

Organizational Structure

Each institution is led by a warden using the unit management model. The warden is supported by

a management team responsible for correctional

programs, correctional operations and management services.

Page 6: Archived Content Contenu archivé 9309.q8 c3 1994-eng.… · as part of the criminal justice system, contributes to the protection of society by actively encouraging and assisting

In each unit, correctional officers, a case

management officer and a living unit manager

1 form a team. The psychologist, health care staff,

chaplain, recreational and athletic activities

. coordinators and instructors are often asked to

help the team by providing their observations

and expertise.

Regional Headquarters

Regional Headquarters are located at three sites:

the Regional Supply Centre in the Saint-Vincent-

de-Paul district; Corcan Industries in the north

end of Montreal; and the senior management offices in Laval.

Regional Headquarters' primary role is to help

the units attain CSC's corporate objectives. Taking into account regional needs, Regional Headquarters provides assistance, support and advisory services in planning and co-ordinating

operations and in monitoring compliance with established standards; it also provides centralized regional services. Finally, as the representative of all the institutions and districts in the Quebec Region, Regional Headquarters

acts as a link to central agencies and plays a liaison, co-ordination and decision-making role with the administrations of other public and private components of the criminal justice system.

conditions, offenders may call, correspond with,

and receive visits from members of their family

and the community. Offenders who feel their

rights have been violated can turn to an inmate

complaint and grievance process. There is also a

procedure for dealing with disciplinary cases,

which is the responsibility of an independant

chairperson in each institution.

Con-ectional Programs

In addition to meeting offenders' basic needs

within the institution, the CSC must provide

them with the help they need to change their

criminal behaviour in order to reduce recidivism.

In line with its Mission, CSC has developed a correctional strategy geared to the following

objective: to ensure that offenders benefit from

the most effective programs possible at the most

Con-ectional Activities in the Institution

Offenders, as members of society, retain their rights and privileges except those necessarily removed or restricted by the fact of their incarceration. The Service has an obli ation to meet offenders' basic needs by r: iding them with housing, food, clothing, l'i Ith services and security. Subject .to .ç, ' in

To meet offenders' needs in the area of work programs, CSC launched Corcan Industries, which offers a range of industrial workshops. These workshops employ an average of 742 offenders in the Quebec Region, both in institutions and in the community. Corcan joins forces with public, parapublic and private agencies to support offenders in their learning and rehabilitation initiatives.

Offenders who take part in correctional programs are paid according to daily pay levels determined by performance assessments.

opportune point in their sentence, in order that they may serve the greater part of their sentence in the community while presenting the lowest possible risk of re-offending.

Two categories of correctional programs exist to meet this objective. The fi rst category comprises basic intervention programs, including living skills training, substance abuse and family violence treatment programs; literacy programs (targeting Secondary IV level); and specialized, in-depth clinical programs for intensive treatment of substance abuse, mental health problems, family violence and sex offenders. Literacy programs answers the basic education needs

of close to 70 per cent of the inmate

population.

The first category of correctional programs

also takes into account the needs of specific groups of offenders, including Native offenders, offenders serving lengthy

sentences, and federally sentenced women.

The second category covers post-secondary and vocational training programs.

In their spare time, offenders may also participate in social, cultural, recreational and athletic activities, take up hobbies, and use the library.

Health Services

The CSC provides inmates with nursing,

medical, dental and surgical care.

Optometrical, psychiatric and

psychological services are also provided

for assessment, prevention, and

treatment purposes, as well as the

promotion of physical and mental

health. All of these services are

provided in accordance with

professional codes of ethics and

community standards.

Within the institutions, nursing staff

are generally available 24 hours a

day, seven days a week. Other medical

specialists visit on a regular basis. Offenders with

serious medical problems or special needs which

cannot be handled within the institution are transferred under guard to

hospitals in the community, where special facilities have been set up by the CSC. Exchange of services agreements were reached with the Philippe Pinel Institute to supply tertiary-level

psychiatric treatment.

Chaplaincy Services

An interdenominational chaplaincy program is geared to respecting the social, religibus and cultural differences of all offenders. Volunteers from the community suppot who administer the programs in prom the spiritual life of inmates.

SeCUrie

The prevailing criterion in the implementation of the correctional process is the protection of society, which is effectively ens by auLuelentspultidisçjûreau_staand a

well-structured preventive security system.

The measures put in place to protect the public,

staff and offenders must be the least restrictive possible.

Correctional institutions are classified according

to three categories: maximum, medium and minimum security; classification reflects the degree of freedom and the privileges granted

to inmates. Offenders are assigned to a particular institution based on risk factors and program needs.

The Service also assigns a security rating to each offender, taking into account the following factors: seriousness of the offence, performance

and behaviour, social background and criminal record, propensity to violence, and state of physical and mental health.

titutionsg in the Quebec Region

There are 11 institutions in the Quebec Region. They are classified according to security level, starting with the maximum-security Regional Reception Centre, Donnacona and Port-Cartier; medium-security Archambault, Leclerc, Cowansville, Drummond and La Macaza; and minimum-security Federal Training Centre, Ste-Anne-des-Plaines and Montée St-François.

MAXIMUM SECURITY

Regional Reception Centre/ Special Handling Unit

The Regional Reception Centre administers the reception and admission into the federal correctional system of all offenders sentenced to a term of imprisonment of two or more years.

: The institution receives all inmates bound for a penitentiary in the Quebec Region whether or not

'-, they are being admitted for the first time. The " mandate of the Regional Reception Centre is to

period

generally lets about

six weeks,

during which time inmates are provided with basic medical services as they go through the admission and reception process. The psychological, psychiatric, vocational and educational departments are required to conduct individual assessments.

The Regional Reception Centre houses three types of units: reception, the maximum-security unit and the Special Handling Unit (90 beds), which was opened in 1984.

The 27-cell maximum-security unit is located in ' cell block A and accommodates inmates who would otherwise be placed in a maximum-security institution. This unit is segregated from the rest of the institution. All inmates incarcerated here are assigned institutional maintenance jobs, for example, preparing and serving meals, laundry ' duty and general maintenance.

The mandate of the Special Handling Unit (SHU) is to receive inmates who cannot be housed in other institutions because of their violent behaviour towards staff and/or

other inmates. The intent is to create an environment where inmates are encouraged and helped to cultivate their sense of responsibility in order to facilitate their integration into a regular maximum-security institution. The program focuses on the observation, control

and modification of the inmate's behaviour, and is geared to reintegrating offenders into

the general inmate population as soon as

possible.

Donnacona Institution

Located in the municipality of Donnacona, 45 km

outside Quebec City, Donnacona Institution

admitted its first inmates in October 1986. It has

facilities for about 371 inmates.

iBecause of its layout and maximum-security

infrastructure, Donnacona can accommodate all

security levels. Its adaptation potential allows for

' a great deal of flexibility in inmate management.

Port-Cartier Institution

Sept-îles, this institution opened in 1988. It

replaced the old Laval Institution, better known

as Saint-Vincent-de-Paul penitentiary, which

humanizing relations with inmates and promoting

their reintegration into society.

Port-Cartier has a textile workshop where

inmates can train in sewing machine maintenance

mechanics.

A number of programs are also offered to

promote resocialization, for example living skills

training and, substance abuse programs, and

programs for inmates serving long-term

sentences. These inmates have formed a group

called the "Lifers Club" which meets regularly to

organize activities such as meetings with

interested groups from the outside, prepare

group meals, and organize conferences and

special events.

Designed to accommodate some 239 inmates, Port-Cartier has the infrastructure required for maximum security. Its role is to house all inmates who cannot be integrated into regular institutions because they have experienced serious problems with other inmates. It provides a modern and

There are five medium-security institutions

in the Quebec Region: Archambault, Leclerc, Cowansville, Drummond and

La Macaza.

Archambault Institution

Archambault Institution is located 30 km north of Montreal and was inaugurated in October 1969 as a maximum-security institution. It was converted to a medium-security institution in

September 1991 in order to better meet the needs of the inmate population. Archambault has 428 cells. Of this number, 142 have been converted to accommodate the regional mental health unit, 163 are reserved for post-suspension cases and 123 are for regular inmates. The Regional Mental Health Unit has been in operation since April 1993 and offers appropriate care to inmates with mental health or borderline personality problems.

Contribution of the Communie

Increasingly, citizens are playing a key role in the reintegration of inmates into society. A number of private agencies with a social mission provide assistance to inmates. The CSC has service contracts with community residential centres (CRCs) and community housing centres (CHC's) which provide the necessary lodging and support. In addition, many volunteers participate on a regular basis in offender-related activities. Citizens can also play a part by sitting on the Citizens' Advisory Committee for an institution or district. Composed of volunteers, these committees play an active role in institutional activities and the social reintegration of offenders. J

: Concerned about and aware of its role in society, CSC is always receptive to new ideas for improving correctional programs and the overall management of the Service.

Iles openness to the recommendations of the general public, its various research programs, the training of its staff and its numerous programs geared to the successful social reintegration of inmates are proof of the CSC's constant and genuine concern for change.

CSC, through its Regional Research Committee, analyses major correctional issues which may influence future operations.
