Media Report

Correctional Service Canada plans to cut over 400 positions across federal penitentiaries as part of budget cuts requiring $132 million in savings over three years, including the elimination of approximately 50 library technician and employment co-ordinator positions. Critics warn the cuts could negatively impact inmate recidivism and reintegration, describing it as 'the hollowing out of a core rehabilitative service.'
