Incarceration

Families are greatly affected by incarceration. We know they seek to understand Canada's correctional system and deal with loneliness, isolation and stigmatization. All this while trying to keep the home running, live, and work as a community member. It's not easy to keep all the balls in the air so we've developed some resources to inform and assist you along this journey.
