Our actions: 

  • Diversify the offer of services for Aboriginal people in detention establishment (DE) using a culturally appropriate approach that can increase efficiency;
  • Promote collaborative action with Aboriginal communities and include their participation in the process of reintegration of those serving a sentence;
  • Promote the positive social reintegration of Aboriginal people upon their release and the continuation of the rehabilitation or healing process initiated in DE;
  • Contribute to increase the number of applications for Permission to leave parole preparatory and to reduce the rate of hearing waivers before the Quebec Parole Board (QPB);
  • Participate in reducing the overrepresentation of Aboriginal people in custody.
