Prisons Inside/Out Correctional Service Canada

“It wasn’t until I was in uniform that I realized how important this job is.” The work that Correctional Officers do can be challenging but also rewarding. They work hard to keep Canadians safe but also have a positive impact on the lives of those in our care and custody. 
Over the next several weeks, we’ll meet some of them in a new three-part series, called Behind the Badge. In part one, we meet Victoria, who has worked inside a maximum-security prison for the last two years. Tune in to this episode to hear her story.

Join us for this episode where we talk with two very special guests: CSC Commissioner Anne Kelly and CSC Deputy Commissioner of Indigenous Corrections, Kathy Neil. We’ll hear from them about the path that led to their successful careers, the challenges they overcame, and talk about what it’s like being a woman leader in corrections in their own words. 

Over the last several months, we've heard a lot about the transfer of offenders between different security levels in federal prisons. In this episode, we are diving into the details on how and why exactly these transfers can happen.
Join us as Kory Abrams, Assistant Warden of Interventions, takes us behind-the-scenes to break down the operations of inmate transfers, security classifications, and everything else that falls in between. 

Have you ever wondered what it’s like beyond the walls of our federal prison system in Canada?
In this first episode of Prisons Inside/Out, we answer some of your most frequently asked questions toexplore just that. Join us as we take a deep dive into Correctional Service Canada (CSC) to investigate thecomplexities and myths that surround our system. How often do prison escapes happen in Canada? Arethere really gangs in prison? Can inmates vote? Listen to this quick crash course, hosted by KirstanGagnon and Veronique Rioux, before we explore other topics, more-in-depth, later this season.
