10. Four Goals of Sentencing • Denunciation • Deterrence • Segregation • Rehabilitation

11. Mission Statement The ECADCR strives to: • Make criminals aware of their crime, and the effects of their negative actions on society • Keep the public safe from harm by separating those who are considered acknowledged threats to public safety • Administer the Justice of the Courts when called upon to do so by providing a sufficient place of imprisonment where assigned sentences may be served • Rehabilitate prisoners so that they may be effective members of society, without handing them opportunities not available to the general public

12. Philosophy Every prisoner who steps through the doors of the ECADCR is also a person. While ensuring justice is administered, and the prisoners serve sufficient terms, each prisoner is to be treated as an individual. By focusing on the unique mentalities of all inmates, the ECADCR seeks to rehabilitate the prisoners so that they may become productive members of society upon the completion of their sentences.

14. Programs • Interaction Program The Interaction Program is required by all offenders for the duration of their sentence. It involves a discussion session between offenders and psychology specialists. The program’s goal is for offenders to interact and pick out wrong concepts with professional assistance. [This will involve two to three sessions a week with a psychologist, working individually with each prisoner. There is not a set amount of time for this program, as the psychologists will work at the pace of each individual prisoner] • Property Importance Program The Property Importance Program is meant for offenders of property crimes such as theft and fraud. The program describes the effects of their actions, and assist offenders in preventing recidivism.

15. Programs Cont’d • Purposeful Activity Program The Purposeful Activity Program is required by all offenders for the duration of their sentence. While imprisoned, offenders are required to perform a minimum of 8 hours, to a maximum of 40 hours of “purposeful activity,” the length of which is determined by the length of the sentence. There is a choice of education, work, or a combination. Any offenders that are involved with the Society Preparation Program are given a “salary” for both choices during the participation of the Society Preparation Program. • Society Preparation Program The Society Preparation Program is meant for any offenders whose sentence is more than three years. Towards the last year of their sentence, they are required to purchase and prepare their own food through the prison (with a supplied kitchen) with their own “salary”. They also become responsible for their own laundry, and other such menial tasks. The purpose of this program is to prevent institutionalization during the imprisonment.

16. Programs Cont’d • Anger Management Program The Anger Management Program is meant for offenders that have committed offence(s) due to impulse. This program brings in specialists to assist offenders in controlling their anger and impulsive rages, resulting in the chance of lowering the rate of recidivism. • Respect for Genders Program The Respect for Genders Program is meant for sexual offenders that have committed acts of sexual assault(s) and family violence. The program explains to the offender the need for respect towards the other gender, assists the offenders in recognizing their trigger of re-offending, and provides strategies for preventing recidivism.

17. Program Evaluation • The criteria of each individual program will be based on the set curriculum. • A course will be determined complete through a two-stage process. • The completion of the base curriculum will be assessed by the employee of the facility in charge of that class or program. • This employee will confer with the psychologist of the prisoner in question to determine if the psychological effects of the program were effective and if the program has been completed effectively.

18. Additional Activities • Education: Prisoners may obtain a high school diploma free of charge. A post-secondary degree may be obtained for a small fee, paid from the “salary” earned by the prisoner through “employment”. • Employment: Prisoners may choose to be employed in the facility doing tasks similar to those listed under “Prisoner Employment” at Parklea. Prisoners will earn a “salary” if they seek a post-secondary education, or if they are part of the Society Preparation Program.
