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.
The Deputy Commissioner for Indigenous Corrections heads CSC’s Indigenous Initiatives Sector and reports directly to the Commissioner.
