GAPECA Information Sharing
Network
The
Correctional Service of Canada (CSC) is committed to exchanging information
and best practices with international partners and associations, as dictated
in Core Value Four of our Mission Statement: “We believe that the sharing of
ideas, knowledge, values and experience, nationally and internationally, is
essential to the achievement of our Mission”.
Below you
will find a list of resources on a wide range of correctional topics, in
keeping with the agreement made at the first meeting of Officials
Responsible for Prison and Penitentiary Policies for the OAS member States
to contribute to an information-sharing forum. We encourage you to visit
CSC’s website at
http://www.csc-scc.gc.ca/text/home_e.shtml for more information
regarding programs, research and publications.
Note: to
open many of the documents on the Correctional Service of Canada’s website,
you will need to have Adobe Reader installed on your computer. If you do
