The Canadian Penitentiary System is a network of facilities designed to house individuals convicted of crimes. It operates under the Correctional Service of Canada, which is responsible for the management and rehabilitation of offenders. The system aims to ensure public safety while providing programs that help inmates reintegrate into society. In Canada, penitentiaries are categorized into different security levels: minimum, medium, and maximum. Each level corresponds to the severity of the crimes committed and the risk posed by the inmates. The focus is on rehabilitation, with various educational and vocational programs available to support inmates in their transition back into the community.
