Abstract
The directory identifies corrections agencies by jurisdiction and reviews recent legislative and policy developments in each jurisdiction. It outlines the organizational structure and components within each corrections agency and records the number of full- and part-time staff. The directory includes operational data on government facilities and private correctional facilities, and caseload, population, and inmate escape/death figures for government correctional facilities. Similar data are given for probation/parole services. Other tables cover the Provincial parole system, with case flow and outcome data included. Special services/programs include custodial and noncustodial services; data related to temporary absence grants, success rates, and applications are presented. The directory also records expenditure data for services, major capital projects, and contributions/grants. Data tables, diagrams, a glossary, a reference list of tables, and about 65 references are provided.
