Alberta Correctional Services has achieved a track record of having the lowest, or next-to-lowest, adult incarceration costs in Canada. Alberta' s correctional system is tough, but humane; it is fair, efficient, accountable, without frills. The report of the MLA Correctional Services Review Committee was released March 30, 2004, recommending a number of adjustments to reflect changes in the corrections landscape and the committee found that, overall, correctional services in this province are cost effective and well managed.
