Figure A 7: Frequency of Contacts with Offenders’ Families

Note. Data extracted from the annual regional reports (2006/07) and National LifeLine Annual Report 2007-08, and supplemented with data from the 2007/08 regional reports where necessary. 2006/07 data were not available for the Pacific Region.

This bar chart displays the average number of face-to-face contacts between in-reach workers and family members prior to a program participant’s release in 2006/07 and 2007/08. The program data is presented by five regions: Atlantic, Quebec, Ontario, Prairie, and Pacific. The Prairie region had the highest overall average of contacts with offenders’ families with 57 in 2006/07 and 79 in 2007/08. The Atlantic and Quebec region both experienced decreases from 2006/07 to 2007/08 in the average contacts with offender’s families; Atlantic – 50 - 41 and Quebec – 44 - 9. In addition, the Ontario region remained consistent over both fiscal years – 4 - 5. The Pacific region did not have any data for these two fiscal years.
