What it does

The Community Correctional Centres (CCC) Program contributes to Community Supervision by providing a 24-hour structured living environment, monitoring and interventions for the purpose of the safe reintegration of offenders into the community. CCCs operate under Correctional Service Canada policies and procedures. The CCCs accommodate offenders under federal jurisdiction who have been released to the community on unescorted temporary absences, day parole, full parole with residency, work releases, statutory release with residency, as well as those subject to Long-Term Supervision Orders with residency.

The result not meeting target can be explained in part due to the fact that Community Correctional Centres mostly house a higher risk population which requires a high degree of structure and/or has complex needs, namely offenders released on Statutory Release with a Residency condition (SRR) imposed as well as those subjected to a Long-Term Supervision Order (LTSO) also with residency, as opposed…
