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.
