      What Is Effective Corrections?

    It’s about distinguishing between offenders who need to be separated from society and those who can be better managed in the community.

    It's about providing the kinds of programs and support that are needed to help offenders get their lives back on track.

    It’s about engaging Canadians in a dialogue about the correctional system, raising their awareness and involving communities in the reintegration of offenders.
