Planning Highlights
The assumptions found in this Report on Plans and Priorities stem from an ongoing strategic planning exercise in which a review of investigative procedures and practices are being completed with a view to confirming the organization's alignment with its mandate. From this exercise, systemic areas of concern such as mental health, preventable deaths in custody, program access, segregation and conditions of confinement were identified as investigative priorities and a focal point for the organization. In addition, the Office will continue its work as it relates to Aboriginal and Female offender issues.
Benefits for Canadians
The Office of the Correctional Investigator provides Canadians with timely, independent, thorough and objective investigations into problems of offenders to ensure a safe, secure, fair, equitable, humane, reasonable and effective correctional environment. By the very nature of the organization's mandate, Canadians benefit when an offender's human rights are upheld and correctional programs contribute towards his/her timely and effective reintegration into society. The Office and the work performed by staff contribute toward this positive outcome.
