The Canada Labour Code stipulates that if steel-toed boots are necessary protective footgear
required to be worn while an inmate is working, they must be worn. An inmate may not be given the option
not to wear them and may not absolve CSC from liability by signing a waiver. Pursuant to section 21.3 of the Parole Act an inmate may be subject to a detention referral by both the Service and the Commissioner. Both referrals will stand if both have been properly referred. An inmate released on parole or mandatory supervision cannot be required by the Correctional Service of Canada or the police to attend at a police station for the purpose of being fingerprinted. CSC may, at any time during the inmate's incarceration, require him or her to be fingerprinted pursuant to the Identification of Criminals Act. |
