Indigenous corrections

Federally sentenced Indigenous peoples have unique cultural and spiritual needs. Correctional Service of Canada (CSC) actively provides culturally specific interventions, support and resources to address these needs. This helps them return to and remain in their communities as law-abiding, contributing members of society.
