The Corrections Division (Corrections) helps protect society by enforcing orders and sentences given by the courts. The division provides humane care and control of offenders and helps them return to society.
Corrections’ mandate is to manage offenders with the appropriate degree of control, supervision and support. It provides programs and services to help offenders deal with the issues that cause conflict with the law.
Our core values are:
- Respect – We accept diversity and the unconditional worth and rights of all people.
- Accountability – We openly communicate and manage our services, evaluate what we are doing and take responsibility for the results.
- Growth and Development – We believe every person has the potential for growth and development and we will provide the opportunities and support for change.
- Recognition – We believe our strength and most important resource is our staff and that they are most effective in a safe, challenging and rewarding work environment.
- Working Together – We provide an integrated service and work with individuals, communities and organizations to create a safe, crime-free society.
Corrections consists of two sections: Adult Correctional Services and Youth Correctional Services. The division administers and operates seven adult correctional facilities, two youth facilities and 27 community corrections offices to supervise probation and conditional sentences for adult and youth offenders.
Community Corrections Programs
Community Corrections services cover all non-custody, community-based offender services and programs. Twenty-seven community corrections offices are located across the province, 11 in First Nations communities. Assisted by volunteers and other service providers, probation officers supervise probation and conditional sentences, support youth justice committees, custody reintegration programs, court reports and provide behaviour intervention programs.
Special programs are designed for sex offenders, female offenders, assault offenders, custody offenders re-entering their communities and Aboriginal offenders. The degree of supervision and the program are based on the risk presented by the offenders and their likelihood to re-offend. Higher-risk offenders receive more intensive services and programs. Partnerships between Corrections and community agencies improve the delivery of correctional programs and services. These partnerships include school divisions, police, business associations, youth social service agencies, offender advocate agencies, Aboriginal agencies and other provincial and federal government departments. Programs include gang diversion, Aboriginal culture, custody alternatives, employment preparation and others.
Programs at Manitoba Correctional Centres
Adult correctional centres provide programs that focus on inmates’ personal development and growth through education opportunities, rehabilitation programs, vocational training, work experience and individual counselling.
Youth correctional centres provide programs that focus on the youth’s personal development and growth, including education opportunities, rehabilitation programs, vocational training, work experience and spiritual programs.
Agassiz Youth Centre has a Positive Peer Culture program designed specifically for young offenders. The goal is to increase a youth’s self worth and dignity, replacing negative values with positive. Youth look at the way they treat others, themselves and society. Positive Peer Culture is a 24-hour, seven-day-a-week way of life.
