Many programs are offered to help offenders work on factors related to their criminal behaviour so that their chances of reoffending when they are released are reduced. Each offender has a Correctional Plan with individual programming and treatment needs. Most offenders would participate in one or more of the following programs:
Living Skills Programming
Substance Abuse Intervention
Sex Offender Treatment Programs
Violence Prevention Programs
Family Violence Programs
Aboriginal Programs
Women Offender Programs
Ethnocultural Programs
Education Programs (adult basic education, secondary, vocational and post-secondary education)
