In the fight against overrepresentation of Black and racialized people in Canada’s criminal justice system, the Correctional Service of Canada (CSC) is seeking Expressions of Interest (EOI) from Black, ethnocultural, and racialized community groups, experts or organizations to assist with the safe and successful reintegration of federal offenders. The first step in this process is to build a comprehensive national inventory of organizations who, based on their specific strengths, could work with CSC or Public Safety Canada in the future.
As part of CSC’s anti-racism strategy, this national inventory will help to identify opportunities to build on CSC’s existing efforts, reduce barriers for Black, ethnocultural, and racialized offenders, and create safer communities. It also supports the Federal Framework to Reduce Recidivism by providing access to more community networks, and culturally appropriate supports, both during and after incarceration. Increasing our work with community groups will build on the role of CSC’s Regional and National Ethnocultural Advisory Committees, existing partnerships with communities, and our dedicated volunteers who continue to provide their invaluable time and services to support federal offenders across Canada.
