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)

• Industrial and Agribusiness Program

• Chaplaincy Program
