Institutional functions, programs and activities

The Correctional Service Canada (CSC) delivers its programs to reflect accurately the structure of its correctional environment. Offenders spend time in custody in institutions and they spend time being managed in the community under supervision. In both the institution and the community, offenders are offered correctional interventions aimed at helping them assume their accountability to become and remain law-abiding citizens. Indeed, some interventions begin while the offender is in the institution and continue or are maintained once the offender returns to the community. CORCAN is a separate agency within CSC that provides employment and job readiness programs for offenders as well as producing products for the marketplace. CSC's internal services serve to deliver on operational priorities and on all aspects of its mandate.
