"The Correctional Service of Canada, as part of the criminal justice system and respecting the rule of law, contributes to the protection of society by actively encouraging and assisting offenders to become law-abiding citizens, while exercising reasonable, safe, secure and humane control" (Basic Facts About the Correctional Service of Canada, Public Works and Government Services Canada, 2005)

Federal Governing Legislation and Jurisdiction:

All legislative functions come under the authortiy of the Corrections and Conditional Release Act and Regulations, as well as commissioners' directives.

The Correctional Service of Canada only has jurisdiction for court-imposed sentences of two years and over.

Court Imposed Sentencing:

There are two types of court-imposed sentences: 1) a determinate sentence; 2) an indeterminate sentence. A determinate sentence is a court-imposed sentence with a completion date (example five years, seven months), called a Warrant of Expiry. This date is court imposed, at which time the Correctional Service of Canada no longer has jurisdiction over the offender. The indeterminate sentence is the court-imposed sentence that is commonly referred to as the "life sentence". The Correctional Service of Canada has jurisdiction over the offender until the offender passes away. Although the court does impose a minimum number of years before the Offender can appy to the National Parole Board for conditional release. Thus, a court-imposed sentence of life with no parole for twenty-five years would indicate that the offender would be incarcerated for a minimum of twenty five years prior to consideration for a potential conditional release to the community, under the supervision of a community parole officer.

Security Classification of Offenders:

There are three levels of Security within the Correctional Service of Canada. They include maximum, medium, and minimum. Case management is completed by institutional parole officers (IPO) within institutions, and by community parole officers in the community. The National Parole Board has the complete responsibility in deciding liberty decisions at the point in the court-imposed sentence where an offender would go and live in the community on conditional release. The National Parole Board is a Canadian government agency and independent administrative tribunal that has exclusive authority under the Corrections and Conditional Release Act to grant, deny, cancel, terminate or revoke day parole and full parole. ...

Once an offender is sentenced by a court, the offender comes under the jurisdiction of the Correctional Service of Canada. An institutional parole officer completes a comprehensive assessment of the offender's criminality and formulates an "offender security classification report" and a "correctional plan". It is this correctional plan that the offender will be assessed against for the entire court-imposed sentence. For offenders who receive a life sentence, there is a mandatory two year residency at a maximum security institution, regardless of the offender's behaviour.
