"Protect
Communities, Reduce Reoffending" The Branch is organized
into two divisions: - Adult
Custody Operates correctional centres with various levels of security and
control for individuals awaiting trial or serving a provincial custody sentence.
Correctional programs address thought patterns, behaviour and lifestyles that
are known to contribute to crime.
- Community
Corrections and Corporate Programs – Operates more than 50 community corrections offices across the province. Probation officers facilitate offender programs, and supervise court orders. They also prepare reports and assessments
about adult offenders, victims, and sentencing options for the court. The division
manages community work service, and supports offenders to make positive changes
in their behaviour and attitudes.
Community Corrections and Corporate Programs Division also provides expertise, co-ordination and support to all parts of the
Corrections Branch through strategic planning, program development, research and information systems. For these functions, the division is the branch link to other ministries and agencies.
