The report encompasses the wide range of Branch!\nactivities, identifies priorities and summarizes achievements.\nThe year under review was primarily one where previous organizational changes\nand program initiatives were consolidated. This was most evident in the year's focus on\nthe development and implementation of standards. During the year, the Service Delivery Standards were finalized and published setting out province-wide guidelines for the\ndelivery of the services offered by the Branch. Through the provision of standards, an\nobjective guide is provided which assists in ensuring the delivery of a highly professional level of correctional service.\nDuring the year, certain management support functions were amalgamated. Tfim\nResource Analysis Section was combined with Operations and Management Systems,\nthus reducing the number of administrative units in the Management Services area.\nSuch economies have been accomplished without a reduction in services. Improved\nservices and increased effectiveness were sought through such initiatives since no\nincrease in the number of staff or management positions was possible during the year.\nConsistent with the focus on standards is the emphasis the Branch placed on the\nprofessional upgrading of its staff. Staff members participated in mandatory and\nvoluntary training and professional development programs. Those offered at the lustice\nInstitute comprise the major component of this process of professional upgradingjH\nAssociated with the development of standards for the Branch is the program\nevaluation process. Initiated this year with the design of an evaluation process for secure\ninstitutions, program evaluation will be a long-term project, aimed at reviewing and\nassessing the effectiveness of the various areas of responsibility in the Branch.\nThe establishment of Branch Staffing Standards continued during the year through\nthe Post Review and the Staff Planning Technique. The Post Review was implemented\nto help achieve the equitable distribution of staff relative to work load and standards\nwithin adult correctional centres and to review manpower requirements. The Staff\nPlanning Technique for Probation and Family Services is intended to identify the\nBranch's manpower requirements in community offices. Both the Post Review and\nStaff Planning Project are ongoing projects.\nThe Corrections Branch has long sought to use alternatives to incarceration in\ncarrying out its mandate and it remains Branch policy to utilize secure institutions only\nas the last resort. This has been a slowly evolving process over the last 20 years.\nInitially developed to provide more humane treatment for offenders, the concept of\nalternatives has broadened recently to include the idea of restitution to the individual or\ncommunity against whom the offense was committed. This philosophical change is\nleading to a further examination of the Branch's role and the degree of involvement in\nvictim services.\nOne program reflecting the concept of restitution is the Community Service Order j\nProgram. Through this program, juvenile and adult offenders have the opportunity to \\\n [recompense an individual or the community for damages resulting from their committal\nof an offense. The program also encourages the active participation of community\n{groups and individual volunteers.\nThe first priority of the Branch in its education and work programs at the various\nKistitutions across the province is to ensure that time spent there will be as constructive\nj as possible, and that attitudes and skills acquired during a sentence will be of long-term\nfuse for an individual. It is also important mat training and work be meaningful for the\n[offender and that work projects be useful to the community. This has challenged the\n[Branch over the years to provide worthwhile programs without unnecessarily duplicat-\njing training and vocational opportunities already existing in the community. The\ncontinuing use of the Temporary Absence Program allows eligible individuals serving a\nisentence to have access to those educational and vocational opportunities and resources\n^ithin the community.\nOver the year, there has been an increase in educational and related programming\nE)r juveniles. One new program introduced at Metchosin Camp during the year is the\n\u25a0Work Experience and Life Skill Development (WELD) program designed to provide\nI pre-employment and life skills training. The Branch continues to provide youth\noffender programs that encourage positive self-development through the challenge of\nthe environment. These wilderness programs are designed to allow young offenders to\ndevelop their physical capabilities and to acquire a measure of self-confidence and self-\nawareness that will allow more positive reintegration with the community.\nThere has also been an increase over the year in the work programs offered by the\nBranch in co-operation with other ministries, agencies or industries. Of particular\nimportance in these interministerial work opportunities is the Salmonid Enhancement\nProgram, a joint Federal\/Provincial program to rehabilitate west coast fish stocks, and\nthe various programs of the Ministry of Forests. Brittain River Camp, a new facility at\nJervis Inlet, was opened this year. It is a joint project with the Ministry of Forests which\nprovides the work and the supervision for the juvenile tree spacing project at the site.\nI An ongoing and major concern of the Branch is the condition of its older facilities.\nThe Branch's older facilities, such as the Lower Mainland Regional Correctional Centre\nand the Vancouver Island Regional Correctional Centre, do not meet United Nations\nminimum standards. The Five Year Plan for Branch facilities is a response to this\nconcern. Completion of the renovations at Prince George Regional Correctional Centre\nduring the year was part of the realization of this goal. Construction of the Vancouver\nPjetrial Services Centre began during the year and this facility should be completed and\nready for use in late 1982. It will alleviate the chronic overcrowding in the Lower\nMainland Regional Correctional Centre and meet, in part, the long-standing goal of\nproviding separate facilities for remanded and sentenced individuals in the province.\nI In closing, I wish to acknowledge and thank all those individuals, both staff and\nprivate citizens, who were involved over the year with the work of the Corrections\nBranch. Without the dedicated involvement of staff and the generous participation of\nvolunteers, the programs of the Branch could not be effective.\nRespectfully submitted,\nBERNARD G.

The Branch delivers\n;\/ide range of correctional programs,\njluding Family Court Counselling Services,\n,ult and Juvenile Probation, Community\nIvice and Attendance Programs, Juvenile\njtimfions, Adult Institutions for remanded\nisons and for offenders serving sentences\nciptotwo years.\n1: legislative mandate of the Corrections\nInch is derived from the B.C. Correction\nA the B.C. Family Relations Act, and the\nJuvenile Delinquents Act, Parole Act, Prison\nReformatories Act, and Criminal Code of\nCanada.\nThe operations of the Corrections Branch are\nmanaged through six regions. Each region\n(see Figure 1) is headed by a Regional\nDirector and within each region Corrections\nprograms are the specific responsibility of\nDistrict Directors and Local Directors\nresponsible for each institution or service\ndelivery unit. In addition, there are nine\nsupport sections within the Commissioner's\nOffice in Victoria under the direction of the\nDeputy Commissioner. A complete list of all\nof the components of the Branch can be\nfound in the Appendix on page 66.\n Secure Custodial Facilities: Activity Description\nSecure custodial facilities are one aspect of\nthe provincial corrections system. The\nBranch maintains a total of eight secure\ninstitutiuons \u2014 six for adults and two for\nyouths. These facilities are located in major\npopulation centres of the province and have a\ntotal maximum capacity of 954 for adults and\n81 for juvenile offenders.\nThe Corrections Branch provides secure\ninstitutions for two reasons: to provide secure\ncustody for adults accused of a criminal\noffence and remanded in custody to await\ntrial or sentence; and to provide the necessary\nsecure facilities for adults sentenced to a\nmaximum term of not more than two years\nless a day.\nThe youth centres meet similar needs for\njuveniles, both boys and girls below the age\nof 17.\nAll offenders and juveniles who are an escape\nrisk and those who are medically unfit for\nopen facilities are detained in separate secure\ninstitutions, which also provide special\nfacilities for the protective custody of\nindividuals and for those who may be a\ndanger to others. Individuals sentenced to a\nterm of imprisonment in a secure regional\ncorrectional institution remain until either\ntheir sentence expires, they are released on\nparole, or they qualify for transfer to an open\nfacility or another type of program.\nAlthough secure custody and imprisonment\nare the main functions of secure institutions,\nit is the policy of the Corrections Branch to\neffect that custody or imprisonment in as\nhumane and constructive a manner as\npossible. A wide range of programs and\nactivities, including work, recreation,\neducation, life skills and spiritual\ndevelopment, help remanded and sentenced\nindividuals make the most positive and\nconstructive use of their time.\nThere are five secure institutions for adult\nmales: the Vancouver Island Regional\nCorrectional Centre (VIRCC) in VictoM\nLower Mainland Regional Correctional\nCentre (LMRCC) in Burnaby, the ChiM\nSecurity Unit, the Kamloops Regional\u2122\nCorrectional Centre (KRCC), and the Pri\nGeorge Regional Correctional Centre M\n(PGRCC).\nMale offenders are classified and\nsubsequently placed in an appropriate \u25a0\ninstitution depending on the severity of tl\ncrime and the characteristics of the offm\nWhen secure custody beyond the resoffl\nthe closest regional centre is required^H\noffenders can be transferred to the Lowei\nMainland Regional Correctional CentiS\nwhich has special secure facilities to met\nthese needs. Classifications and transferal\narranged on a case-by-case basis.\nThe Lakeside Correctional Centre for\nWomen, on the grounds of LMRCC in\nBurnaby, is the secure facility for aduM\nfemale offenders and women remanded i\ncustody to await trial.\nThe two secure facilities for juveniles art\nWillingdon Youth Detention Centre (\\\u00aej\nin Burnaby and the Victoria Youth Deters\nCentre (VYDC).\nThe reports which follow detail the priore\nactivities and achievements of the provin\neight secure facilities from April 1, 1980iV\nMarch 31, 1981.\nVancouver Island Region\nVancouver Island Regional Correction\nCentre (VIRCC)\nThe central priority of the Vancouver mt&\nRegional Correctional Centre is to mamti\nthe capability to provide secure custody a\ncircumstances where adult offenders hav\nbeen remanded in custody to the centre t\nawait trial. In fulfilling its principal func\n jtivity Reports\t\nllffltre must provide secure and safe\npdy for all offenders assigned to the\niity and ensure that those on remand are\niable when required by the courts.\nii though the facility has been identified\njinarily a secure remand centre since\n;:, it continues to receive sentenced\n,i5ers as well. This puts considerable\npffis on the staff and facilities of the\n\u25a0e. To alleviate this problem, staff\nlipts to classify and transfer sentenced\nrars to another appropriate facility\ni.n five to seven days of sentence.\nIffiion to its prime function, Vancouver\nId Regional Correctional Centre must\nmaintain the capacity to enforce and\ntap temporary secure custody for\nmals assigned to programs at the\nouver Island Community Correctional\n:e and Jordan River Camp.\n^Ber Island Regional Correctional\ne has seen a continued trend over the\nive years to increased use. In 1980-81,\nidly average count reached 123. In a\nitjaoriginally designed to accommodate a\ncited maximum of 60, this level of\nilafion places enormous pressures on the\ni:and physical facility. Related to such a\nslevel of utilization is the high volume of\nrssion\/discharge activity that totalled\nfi inmate movements in 1980-81 \u2014 4397\nti:s and 4280 discharges.\n!te overcrowding and budget constraints,\nEagre strives to provide a high standard\nce and to ensure that remanded offenders\nviccess to community resources and\npit systems.\n;<isBa background of chronic pressure, it\n|jmte to the staff that the record of\nroe availability for Court remains very\nglFor the third consecutive year, the\nn also maintained its escape-free record.\n\u00abria Youth Detention Centre (VYDC)\noia Youth Detention Centre is one of\nill\u00ae institutions in the province\no'ling secure custody for delinquent\nyouths under the age of 17 remanded in\ncustody to await trial, and youths committed\nto containment.\nIts key function is to ensure the availability of\ncourt-remanded and pre-court detained\nyouths for court appearances. The centre\nattempts to fulfil this mandate by providing a\nfacility and level of care that both protects\nsociety from the delinquent behaviour of\nyouths and provides the opportunity for the\nconstructive use of time spent in custody.\nIn addition to its secure custodial role for\nremanded youths, Victoria Youth Detention\nCentre must carry out an assessment and\nclassification process for all sentenced youths\nadmitted to the facility. The centre provides\nindividualized programming for youths\nreceived at the facility through the\nassignment to each one of a case manager or\ncounsellor. In consultation with other\nprofessionals, the case manager develops an\noverall program and release plan for the\nyouth.\nAlthough the centre completed some much-\nneeded renovations in 1979, security\nremained a concern in 1980-81. Security\ninadequacies with fire doors and locks\nresulted in an unusually high number of\nescapes from the building. In an attempt to\nresolve these difficulties, further renovations\nwere undertaken in February and March of\n1981 at the cost of $304,000. Both fire safety\nand overall security were upgraded with the\ninstallation of new doors and windows and\nimprovements in the physical layout of the\nbuilding.\nThe centre provides ten single and six double\nrooms with separate leisure activity space.\nThere is also an academic classroom, an arts\nand crafts classroom and a woodworking\nshop. Both indoor and outdoor recreation\nfacilities are provided.\nThe successful utilization of the centre's\nresources and facilities depends in large\nmeasure on the volunteer program supervised\nby a full-time volunteer co-ordinator staff\nposition. Volunteers participate in all aspects\nof the centre's programs, including\n educational services, recreational programs,\nleisure-time activities and even receptionist\nservices. In 1980-81, the centre averaged 118\nvolunteers providing 2355 hours per month of\nvoluntary service.\nEducational services are provided by a full-\ntime teacher funded by the Ministry of\nEducation and supervised by the Victoria\nSchool District. There is a contracted arts and\ncrafts teacher and there are plans to staff the\nwood-working shop with a full-time\nindustrial arts teacher. Chaplaincy services\nare now provided under a new agreement by\nthe Youth Guidance Section of Youth for\nChrist. The centre also has part-time\npsychological services provided by a clinical\npsychologist, and full-time medical services\nprovided by a nurse.\nDuring the time the centre was closed for\nrenovations in the early spring, Metchosin\nCamp and the Victoria City Police cells\nprovided temporary short-term secure\nfacilities. A program called House Arrest was\ninitiated at that time to provide a community\nalternative to placing youths on remand in\ncustody. In the House Arrest Program the\ncourt places the youth on a strict court order\nwhich spells out the conditions by which the\nyouth must abide. The project staff visits the\nyouth's residence or contacts parents (or\nguardians) by telephone several times a day\nto ensure the youth is abiding by the rules\ndetermined by the court. If the rules are\nbroken, the youth will be placed in custody\nto appear before the court within 24 hours.\nFrom February 13 to March 31, while the\nrenovations were in progress, 22 youths were\nplaced on House Arrest. Only three were\nreturned to custody for failure to abide by the\nrules.\nVancouver Region\nLower Mainland Regional Correctional\nCentre (LMRCC)\nThe Lower Mainland Regional Correctional\nCentre is the largest of the secure institutions,\nproviding accommodation for 512 adult 8\noffenders.

In the South\nfii, where over 80% of the population of\nmen awaiting trial, the facilities are\n&pessly outdated and inadequate.\nMams are very limited and the restricted\nIgfflaits activities as well. This maximum\n501 ty unit will be phased out once the\nStiuver Pretrial Centre is ready in late\nNevertheless, despite continuous pressures on\nan outdated facility, the centre continues to\nprovide specialized secure custodial services\nto the entire province and to meet the\nimmediate secure custody and containment\nneeds of the Lower Mainland area.\nLakeside Correctional Centre\nConsistent with the recommendations of the\n1978 Report of the Royal Commission on the\nIncarceration of Female Offenders, Lakeside\nCorrectional Centre has undergone a number\nof significant renovations and improvements\nsince that time. As the only secure custodial\nfacility for women in the province, Lakeside\ncontinued, in 1980-81, to upgrade its\nfacilities and programs and to extend a wider\nrange of services to its inmates.\nIn 1980-81, the main objectives included\nproviding more varied and meaningful\nprograms, increasing the decision-making\nrole of the centre's population and reducing\ninmate\/inmate assaults and escapes.\nThe security record at the centre is much\nimproved. In 1980-81, there were no escapes\nand no major disturbances. Staff assaults,\ninmate\/inmate assaults and segregation\nrequirements were also substantially reduced.\nThe daily average count was also reduced\nfrom 63 in 1979 to 50 in 1980-81.\nConsistent with the implementation of\nstandards, there were several improvements\nto the facility in 1980-81. These included the\ninstallation of telephones in each unit,\nallowing unrestricted access for toll-free\ndialing; washers and dryers in each living\nunit; and an emergency communication\nsystem. Other physical improvements\nincluded the renovation and decoration of the\nvisiting and administration areas; the design\nand installation of segregation doors; and the\nrepainting of the interior. A dining-room was\nprovided with the space renovation in the\nRemand Unit. New plumbing and new\nexterior lighting were installed at the centre.\nDespite improvements in both programs and\nfacilities, there remain some unresolved\n Activity Reports\ndifficulties. The necessity of housing the\npsychiatric problems in inadequate facilities\nand the delays in receipt of Orders-in-Council\nfor commitment are significant problems that\nrequire attention. There is also a need to\nprovide better facilities to house inmates in\nprotective custody and a requirement to\nseparate women waiting trial and those\nsentenced.\nWillingdon Youth Detention Centre\n(WYDC)\nThe Willingdon Youth Detention Centre,\nlocated in Burnaby, is one of the two secure\ncustodial facilities for youths, both boys and\ngirls below the age of 17, remanded in\ncustody or sentenced to containment for\ndelinquent behaviour.\nFor a number of years, the centre has\nsuffered from chronic overcrowding which\nputs undue pressures on both the facility and\nthe staff. This overcrowding is reflected in an\nannual increase in the daily average count\nfrom 44 in 1978, to 59 in 1979 and 63.4 in\nfiscal 1980-81. There is concern that the\ndebilitating effects of this overcrowding are\ncausing a deterioration in program quality\nand the unavoidable violation of standards in\nmatters such as sleeping space per youth.\nIt is hoped that the newly devised\ncontingency plan for overcrowding and\nTreasury Board's approval for ten new beds\nwill alleviate the situation.\nAs in previous years, the program focus at\nthe centre is educational, with the Burnaby\nSchool Board supporting educational\ninitiatives taken at Willingdon. It is a credit\nto the educational staff and volunteers that\nthe quality of these programs remains high,\ndespite the pressures of inadequate space or\nstaff. A study completed this year by the\nMinistry of Education confirmed the urgent\nrequirement for more classroom space as a\nprerequisite for additional staff.\nThe Volunteer Program at the centre, coordinated largely through the office of the\nchaplain, involved more than 300 volunteers\nin religious, recreational and tutorial\nactivities in 1980-81. The chaplain's wo: J\nalso includes counselling and religiouSI\nservices. This diverse and extensive projjl\nrequires a more adequate Chaplaincy Ceil\nand consideration should be given to 1\nproviding one in any expansion plans.B\nA full range of medical, dental and\npsychiatric services are offered to the ceoj\npopulation through the well-equipped ora\nclinic, supplemented by the specializeaB\nfacilities at the Lower Mainland Regions!!\nCorrectional Centre hospital and througl ;J\nreferrals to specialists.

The centre accommodates 86,\n|ding 26 remand beds in a separate\n|ing. When security requirements exceed\nfivel provided at the centre, offenders are\nliferred to either the Prince George\n|)nal Correctional Centre or the Lower\nfeland Regional Correctional Centre.\nifnain priorities of Kamloops Regional\nActional Centre are full inmate\n(I! ipation in both work programs and\nfflams for personal development, and staff\nm ipation in constructive staff training\nprograms. Specifically, the centre aims to\ninvolve all sentenced inmates in worthwhile\nwork programs and all remand inmates in\nleisure time activities. To help achieve this,\nall sentenced inmates are classified to job\nplacements within three days of initial arrival\nat the centre; and a wide variety of leisure\nactivities are offered.\nThe emphasis on transferring more suitable\noffenders to the forest camps and the\nCommunity Correctional Centre has resulted\nin a number of problems, requiring the\nupgrading of security and supervision at\nKamloops Regional Correctional Centre.\nIncidents this year included a brief major\ndisturbance that caused approximately\n$10,000 damage. Six inmates were\nsubsequently charged in outside courts for\ntheir parts in the disturbance. Such situations\nare being addressed by closer supervision,\nthe implementation of a life skills course and\nadditional counselling.\nSecurity upgrading this year included\nimprovements to all security fences and the\ntraining and qualification testing of 25 staff in\nthe use of firearms. An alarm system was\ninstalled in the Program Office to enhance\nsecurity there.\nImprovements at the centre this year were\nmainly in the area of recreational facilities\nand equipment.\nTo meet its objective of providing a wide\nvariety of worthwhile work programs for\nsentenced inmates the centre offers\nemployment in groundswork, forestry-related\nprojects and agricultural harvesting.\nSome work projects in forestry and parks\nwere discontinued this year because of either\nthe lack of suitability of the work or the\nlocation, or the nature of the sentenced\noffenders who would be involved in the\nproject. Successful projects included the\nmaintenance of the grounds at the centre, the\nmanufacture of fence stakes for the Ministry\nof Forests and the harvesting of farm produce\nat Tranquille Farm, a nearby facility for\nmentally handicapped adults.\n1\n llmvity Reports\nThe centre has experienced increased\novercrowding in recent years and there has\nbeen a lack of remand space in the Region. In\nresponse to these situations, it is significant\nto note that a new centre for Kamloops has\nbeen approved within the Five-Year\nCorrections Plan for facilities.\nNorthern Region\nPrince George Regional Correctional\nCentre (PGRCC)\nThe Prince George Regional Correctional\nCentre is the second largest secure institution\nfor adult male offenders in the Province with\na maximum capacity of 140. As well as\nserving the needs of the Northern Region, it\nprovides facilities for inmates from Kamloops\nwho require more security than Kamloops\nRegional Correctional Centre can provide.\nConsistent with the overall Branch priorities\nfor secure institutions, long-standing\npriorities of the Prince George Regional\nCorrectional Centre include the classification\nof inmates to the lowest security setting\npossible, and the phasing out of the use of\nfirearms as a security measure in the\nsentenced exercise yard. This latter goal was\nmet in part by the installation of fencing with\na metal hood-style top.\nAlthough the centre continues to carry out\nclassifications in accordance with its priority\nregarding security, the results are not always\npositive. There were two major disturbances\nat the centre this year; however, neither was\nviolent. Permitting sentenced offenders to\nparticipate in open programs as an alternative\nto containment in a secure institution\nincreases the pressure for effective programs\nin an open setting. The results of this are\ncovered elsewhere in this report in the\nassessment of the programs at Northern\nRegion s Hutda Lake Camp.\nDuring the last fiscal year, major renovations\nwere initiated at the centre. The long period\nof disruption demanded tolerance and cooperation from staff and imates alike, and\nboth responded well. The new additional\nready for occupancy in September 1980;\nhowever, delays in shipping vital equipS\nresulted in a postponement in the opennl\nthe new kitchen facilities until late sprOT\n1981.

One oh\nmost positive aspects of programs at w\ncentre is the three-day treatment-oriera\nAlcohol Awareness program that is hM\nmonthly on-site.\nPart of the challenge over the last year Ii\ncentre has been to implement a new \u25a0\"\norganizational structure.

This latter decisioi\nfollowed an in-house evaluation of the\n\u2014\n ition system. Other staff-related\n{Rations included the introduction of the\ni?eh's new uniform and the successful\n:gration of female staff as supervisors.\nBgreatest challenges for the Prince George\n;ional Correctional Centre in 1981-82 will\nbe to achieve a stable, effective organization;\nto make full use of the renovated facilities\nand expanded programs; to minimize the\nnegative effects of assigning the lowest\npossible security classification to offenders\nfrom the Region; and to rigorously monitor\nexpenses to remain within the budget.\nJ\n Open Facilities: Activity Description\nAs an alternative to secure institutions for\nthose inmates classified as suitable, the\nBranch provides open facilities throughout\nthe province. These are minimum security\ncentres, semi-isolated forest camps, farms or\nranches that provide suitable settings for\nwork programs and personal development.\nTo be judged acceptable for participation in\nan open setting, convicted adult offenders\nand juveniles must conform to the following\nprofile: they must not be an escape risk; they\nmust pose no danger to the community; and\nthey must be physically fit enough to take\npart in rigorous work and training. These\ndeterminations can be made internally by the\nclassification officers who recommend\ntransfer once an offender or juvenile has been\ninitially admitted to a secure institution.\nThe projects carried out at open facilities\ninclude forest management and maintenance,\nsawmill operation, wilderness survival, crop\nraising, animal husbandry and salmon\nrehabilitation. Some of these are operated\nwith other provincial ministries, such as the\nMinistry of Forests and the Ministry of\nEnvironment, or federal departments, such as\nEnvironment Canada. It has proven to be a\nmutually beneficial partnership with the\nadded bonus, in some cases, of providing\nservices to a community and generating\nbetter understanding and goodwill for the\nBranch and its programs.\nFor participants in open programs who\nqualify, temporary leave from the facility can\nbe provided through the Temporary Absence\nProgram mostly for purposes of training or\nemployment. This compensates to an extent\nfor the limited access most open facilities\nhave to community resources as a result of\ntheir somewhat isolated locations.\nThe prime focus in an open setting is on\nvaluable work experience. The effectiveness\nof work programs and their impact on\n10\nparticipants is constantly monitored an|\nchanges are introduced as required. Th9\nBranch must also ensure that standardsB\naccommodation and related amenities ar\nmaintained and that facilities are provicB\nleisure-time activities. In a setting whert\neffective work programs are the prioriS\nhowever, accommodation and recreatiojj\nfacilities and programs are usually quia\nbasic. Leisure activities encouraged at a\nfacilities include hobbies, correspondeml\ncourses, sports, games and participatiSI\ncommunity groups such as the John hSI\nand Elizabeth Fry societies, and Alcoho\nAnonymous.\nAlthough the participants in open prog|j\nare classified as not dangerous, a majial\nconcern is the number who walk away f j\nthese settings or go absent without leaffil\nan ongoing challenge to the Branch to en\nthat those in open settings remain in the\nfacility for the duration of their sentejOTl\nwithout having to resort to security mese\nassociated with secure institutions.\nThe Branch maintains a total of 15 opei<\nfacilities with a maximum capacity of 71:\nAs with the secure institutions, there an\nseparate facilities for adult males and\nfemales, and others for juveniles.\nThere are 11 facilities for adult male\noffenders \u2014 Jordan River Camp, AldaB\nRiver Correctional Centre, New Haven\nCorrectional Centre, Stave Lake Campft\nRidge Camp, Ford Mountain Camp, Mid\nThurston Camp, Bear Creek Camp.

A new\nB'am involving volunteers provided cross-\nStry ski patrols at Mount Washington and\nluted on all weekends that the ski area\nBipen to the public. Through the\n(jsory Board, the camp identified and\n8;d out several community volunteer\nSets. These included lawn and garden\nBtenance and firewood cutting, services\nIrtnmlar use to old age pensioners who\n'9i otherwise have done without.\nSigh the year the Release Co-ordinator at\ngimp successfully arranged home or\nffliurjity pre-release visits for all eligible\ns? ints prior to their being screened for\nas release. This program is significant in\nteiccessful reintegration of youths into the\nNliunity.\nJordan River Camp\nLocated west of Jordan River on the\nsouthwest coast of Vancouver Island, Jordan\nRiver Camp houses a maximum of 40 adult\nmales. It is an isolated location with only\nessential facilities, including Atco trailers\nwhich provide accommodation. The focus at\nJordan River Camp is on inmate participation\nin work programs and training, and the\nfostering of personal development. The camp\nencourages participation in a variety of work\nprojects and through the case management\nprocess prepares inmates for re-entry into the\ncommunity as a productive member of the\nwork force.\nFor the sixth consecutive year, the camp\nparticipated in the joint federal-provincial\nSalmonid Enhancement Program. This work\nproject was initiated to increase the depleted\nfish stocks in the Sooke, Jordan River and\nPort Renfrew areas. It consists of the removal\nof debris from streams, clearing logjams,\nslashing of trails and assembly of spawning\nboxes. An estimated 12 800 hours were\ninvested this year in these activities. The\ncamp also worked year-round for the\nMinistry of Highways and Transportation\nclearing growth along the West Coast Road\nas a safety measure for the public. Work for\nthe Ministry of Forests included the clearing\nof fire access roads. The alderwood salvaged\nfrom this operation was donated as firewood\nto old age pensioners and needy families.\nOther community service projects included\nwork in Sooke at the Brownie camp where\nhazardous trees were cleared and the water\nline was installed below ground. The work\ncrews also put in many weeks of work at the\nGirl Guide camp, located in the Shirley\nDistrict, where tree clearing and the\nconstruction and maintenance of buildings\nwere the main jobs.\nAlthough the work programs are varied and\nworthwhile, the camp would benefit from the\ndevelopment of a recreational and leisure-\ntime program and the provision of\nrecreational facilities, particularly a\ngymnasium. These additions would help to\nestablish and maintain morale and would\n11\n Activity Reports\nreinforce the development of positive\nbehaviour habits. The camp must also\nanticipate the replacement of Atco trailers\nwhich were installed in 1975 and have a lifespan of only five years. As in most open\nfacilities, the camp extends access to\ncommunity resources through the granting of\nTemporary Absence passes to eligible\ninmates. In 1980-81, there were 198\napplications for work release, 114 of which\nwere approved, and 60 applications for short-\nterm passes, of which 29 were granted.\nNorth Fraser Region\nTwin Maples Correctional Centre\nTwin Maples Correctional Centre, located at\nMaple Ridge, is a unique open facility\nproviding accommodation for 43 adult female\noffenders. In 1980-81, most residents of Twin\nMaples were transfers from Lakeside\nCorrectional Centre for Women. Others were\nsentenced directly from the courts. The\ncentre also provides programs under a bilateral transfer agreement for federal\noffenders serving long-term sentences. Twin\nMaples also has special facilities for women\nrequiring protective custody, and through a\nunique program, facilities for pregnant\nwomen and mothers with children under two\nyears of age.\nTwin Maples is a valuable alternative to\nLakeside. The focus at the centre is on\nconstructive, community-oriented programs\ndesigned to prepare the women for gradual\nre-entry into the community. These programs\nteach alcohol awareness, self-awareness and\nthe building of self-confidence, as well as\nproviding meaningful training and experience\nin several areas of work. Other aspects of\nTwin Maples that contribute to its success are\nthe lack of physical confinement, the natural\nstaff rapport and involved case management,\nthat is, the step-by-step planning of an\nindividual's program and the planning for her\nrelease. Women respond positively to these\nprograms and opportunities.\n12\nWork programs at the centre are diver^\nand include a farm on-site, offering an \u2022\ninteresting range of projects to in vol vern\nwomen. Ruskin Farm, part of the Twifflj\nMaples facility, continues to provide egi\npork and beef to the Region's forest cot\nand other correctional institutions. Alffl\nthe herd of beef cattle was reduced\nconsiderably to 45 head and the chick^i\nwere also reduced to about 1 000, stocB\nincrease next year.

The focus at the centre is on the\nPiion of suitable training to prepare the\nW, men for re-entry into the community.\nSitional upgrading and positive personal\naipment are other aspects of New\naVs overall program.\neHaven continues to apply its successful\n'Pich to social responsibility training\n|?;h four successive levels of\nI'pment. Any offender admitted to New\nW progresses through the four levels to\neventual release or parole. Advancement to\neach successive level is dependent on\nsuccessful completion of the preceding level.\nThe junior level stresses personal\nresponsibility and includes neatness,\ncleanliness and punctuality. Level Two, the\nintermediate level, broadens the focus to\ninclude responsibility to the group. It is\nreferred to as the environmental\nresponsibility level. The senior level, or\nservice responsibility level, involves\nleadership in the New Haven community. The\nfinal stage of the program is the Temporary\nAbsence level, which demands responsibilitv\nin the outside community, through work or\neducational release. Levels One to Three are\neach a minimum of one month; the final level\nis of an indeterminate length according to the\nterms of parole or the end of a sentence.\nThe routine at New Haven involves residents\nin a full working day. Evenings are used for\neducational upgrading, recreation and\nphysical exercise, and club activities. The\nwork program at the centre emphasizes work-\nhabit training to make participants more\nreadily employable on release. Work options\nrange from woodworking and metalworking\nto farmwork, janitorial tasks or work in the\nlaundry. All trainees participate in kitchen\nwork on a rotational shift.\nIn 1980-81, the Woodworking Shop\nconstructed furniture.and other wood items\nwhich were provided as a community service\nto local ball clubs, the Twin Maples Child\nCare Program, the Brookswood Lions Club,\nLangley Church and Porteau Camp. The\nsmall farm maintained on-site provided\nmarket garden produce for use at the centre.\nEducational upgrading includes remedial\nwork at the Grades 1 to 6 levels at the centre,\ncorrespondence courses or day release to\nattend classes in the community. Eleven\ntrainees took educational upgrading in the\ncommunity during 1980-81. Seven\nsuccessfully completed the work: four\ncompleted Grade 10, one finished Grade 12,\nand two were successful in both Grade 10\nand Grade 12 courses.\n13\nUi\n Activity Reports\nThe health and medical needs of residents at\nNew Haven are met through a wide range of\nin-house services supplemented by referrals\nto specialists in the community and access to\ncommunity hospitals or the hospital at the\nLower Mainland Regional Correctional\nCentre for diagnosis, emergency and acute\nmedical services.\nSecurity is maintained at the centre through\nhead counts and adherence to a strict daily\nroutine resulting in few walkaways in\n1980-81. Although almost 1 500 Temporary\nAbsence passes were granted through the\nyear, not one trainee became unlawfully at\nlarge while on Temporary Absence.\nRoutine maintenance by B.C. Buildings\nCorporation at the centre during the year\nincluded some internal and external\nrepainting, the reroofing of two farm outbuildings and renovations to the kitchen and\ndining-room facilities to conform with health\nregulation standards. The sports field was\nrebuilt and returfed. Once the work on the\ndrainage system is completed next year, the\nfield will be available for increased use.\nCommunity interaction is achieved at New\nHaven through such programs as Invisible\nBars which involves New Haven trainees and\nprobationers referred from the Burnaby and\nCoquitlam courts. Volunteer participation of\nresidents in work with the handicapped at\nPearson Hospital was successful in the three\nmonths the program was active. It presently\nrequires a new volunteer sponsor in order to\ncontinue. Courses in public speaking and\nrelated activities sponsored by Toastmasters\nClub 59 provided valuable training and social\ninteraction.\nThe average length of stay at New Haven is\nnow 7.15 months compared with a stay of\n11.50 months in 1975. Related to this\nreduced length of stay is the parole program\nwhich is judged to be 70% successful based\non the number of paroles granted and the\nnumber revoked. This success rate compares\nfavourably with the 1975 success rate of 71%\nwhen trainees were kept almost twice as long\nat New Haven before parole was granted.\n14\nAlouette River Correctional Centre]\n(ARCC)\nAlouette River Correctional Centre, loca\nin Maple Ridge, continues to function\nprimarily as a specialized alcohol-orienJe\ntreatment centre for adult male offenders\nOther chemical dependencies are consfilf\nin the self-awareness and training progra\nthe centre offers.\nThe main facility at Alouette River  j\nCorrectional Centre houses 119.

A crew involved\nHPXnds maintenance at the centre cleared\nan area for a new soccer field and assisted\nwith the construction required for the centre's\nrole in the Salmonid Enhancement Program.\nOther community work projects provided a\nnew sun deck for the Problem Centre and\ncleared 13 acres at Ruskin Farm (Twin\nMaples) to prepare the ground for a\nChristmas tree nursery. Cleaning crews\nworked daily at the centre. Other community\ninteraction occurs when local sports teams\nparticipate in events with teams from the\ncentre.\nPine Ridge Camp\nPine Ridge Camp, located near Haney, has\nbeen operating for 25 years. The camp\naccommodates 52 and serves as a facility for\nrepeat offenders who do not fit into any\nspecialized open program. The staff at Pine\nRidge use case management to help the\noffenders plan their camp work and self-\ndevelopment programs to prepare them for\nre-entry into the community.\nPine Ridge operates a number of its own\nwork programs or can arrange through work\nrelease for inmates to participate in programs\nat such locations as Camp Point and Brittain\nRiver. Effective work programs at the camp\ninclude logging and the operation of a\nsawmill, a joint undertaking with the\nMinistry of Forests, for whom the camp also\nproduces stakes. In 1980-81, stake\nproduction totalled 22 000 and man-days\ninvested in the sawmill operation totalled\n21 258. All equipment in the logging and\nsawmill operation was well maintained\nthrough the year and in operational order at\nthe end of fiscal 1980-81. The camp also\noperated work programs for the Ministry of\nLands, Parks and Housing and for the\nMinistry of Human Resources.\nProximity to the campus of the Pacific\nVocational Institute permits Temporary\nAbsence passes to be used for the purposes of\neducational and vocational upgrading. Six\nresidents attended Pacific Vocational Institute\nfor vocational training and eight for\neducational upgrading.\n15\n It is an ongoing priority to reduce the number\nof walkaways from the camp. This is\naccomplished in part by involving residents\nin work and leisure-time activities.\nCommunity inter-relations at the camp are\nfostered through a number of community\nservice projects, sports activities and\nparticipation in self-help groups that involve\nmembers of the community, such as M2, a\nprogram where one volunteer works closely\nwith one inmate, and Alcoholics\nAnonymous.\nStave Lake Camp\nThis open facility was constructed in 1971 on\nthe shores of Stave Lake, about 32 km east of\nHaney. It provides work placement for up to\n55 men, primarily first offenders.

During 1980-81, the living\nunits were renovated to provide individual\nrooms for inmates. The long-anticipated\naddition to the camp church was also\ncompleted. The Religious Activities Centre\nwas formally opened during the year and\nbecame the focal point for visits by local\nchurch groups and other related activities.\nAs part of the maintenance of the camp,\noffenders may be involved in tasks in the\nkitchen, laundry or grounds, or they can\nprovide cleaning services to the camp. The\ncarpentry shop and vehicle maintenance shop\nprovide work and basic vocational training.\nThe camp butcher shop supplied beef to all\nthe Chilliwack Forest Camps from cattle\nraised on the open facility farms in other\nRegions. For offenders who work in the\nbutcher shop, basic training is provided in\nbutchering and preparing meat.\nCentral to the work program at the camp are\nthe activities associated with the Ministry of\nForests' sawmill on-site. Continuous forest-\nrelated work includes logging; sawmill and\nplanermill operation; thinning, pruning and\nstand improvement; fire suppression; lumber\nproduction; stake cutting; and recreational\nsite maintenance and construction. During\nthe year, 311 079 b.f.m. of lumber were cut\nand distributed to Corrections Branch\nfacilities and the Forest Service. A total of\n150 000 cedar stakes were cut and 7 589\nseedling pallets produced. It required 444\nman days of logging to keep the mill supplied\nwith logs.\n17\n Activity Reports\nAlthough some educational upgrading and\nbasic vocational training is available at the\ncamp, during 1980-81 most offenders\ninterested in upgrading their educational level\nor skills attended community college courses\non Temporary Absence passes. If specialized\ntraining is required, an eligible offender may\nbe transferred to another facility closer to the\ninstitution providing the training.\nThe camp participated in several community\nservice projects during the year, including the\nconstruction of a playground and the\ndevelopment of a picnic site. Other\ncommunity-related activities were sports\nevents, visits from church groups and the\nvolunteer sponsorship of camp residents to\nlocal Alcoholics Anonymous meetings.\nWeekly family visits were arranged at a\ncommunity facility to assist those families\nwho lacked transportation to get to the camp.\nCamp visits were arranged if required. Other\nleisure-time activities included a wide range\nof hobbies, mostly related to woodworking.\nThe daily average count at Mount Thurston\nCamp was 39.

The\npriorities of the camp are to provide a\nworthwhile work program and opportunities\nfor positive personal development in\npreparation for re-entry into the community.\nIntegral to the work program is the operation\nand maintenance of the farm. Inmates at the\ncamp worked six days a week on farm-related\ntasks and also carried out renovations and\nimprovements to farm buildings and\nequipment. A number of safety-minded\nimprovements were also completed during\nthe year 1980-81, including work on the\nirrigation system, the fencing around the\ncorrals and the gas and diesel fuel tanks.\nA long-term project initiated in 1980-81 was\nthe replacement of perimeter fencing. A start\nwas also made on upgrading the camp's\nirrigation system. During the year, $65,000\nwas allocated for the standardization of\npumping stations and electrical systems.\nAlthough camp facilities were upgraded\nduring 1979, the new water supply system\nand the newly installed alarm system required\nadditional work.\nFarm production aims to meet the annual\nrequirement of the Region's Main Centre and\n19\n Activity Reports\naffiliated units for beef and potatoes, and to\nsupply vegetables as required to the camp. In\nboth cases during 1980-81, production\nexceeded requirements; as a result, 18 head\nof beef were shipped to the Chilliwack\nForestry Camps and excess vegetables were\nfrozen to meet off-season needs. Hay\nproduction at the camp was double\nexpectations.\nIn addition to farm-related tasks, the camp\ninmates also participated in tree-spacing and\nclearing and burning debris at Heffley Lake;\nclearing ski runs at Todd Mountain; clearing\na site after selective logging at Knuff Lake;\nand tree clearing at Tranquille School. In a\nworthwhile community service project,\ninmates provided assistance on a YM\/YWCA\nswimming program for mentally-handicapped\nchildren. They also helped with a park\ncleanup program in the community.\nAn important and effective philosophy\nmaintained at the camp during the year was\nto extend responsibility to inmates who\ndemonstrated that they could handle it\neffectively. Disruptive inmates were\ndisciplined or transferred to more secure\ninstitutions.\nRecreation and leisure-time facilities are\nwell-used at the camp and there is an ongoing\nprogram of community interaction which\nincludes participation in Alcoholics\nAnonymous. The Native Indian Crafts\nprogram was discontinued during the year as\na result of internal problems at the Indian\nFriendship centre and the termination of\nprogram staff.\nBear Creek Camp\nBear Creek Camp is located near Clearwater\nand accommodates 30 men. The camp was\nconstructed last year to replace Clearwater\nForest Camp. The new facility has the\nadvantage of being conveniently located near\nthe camp's sawmill.

In-camp training is\nJW with wilderness outings, such as\nifjfmbing, canoe trips and alpine\n?econs.\nThe camp requires 100% participation in its\nwide variety of program activities.\nParticipants are involved in both in-camp and\nfield experiences. These, in turn, involve\ncamp and community and include small\nvessel navigation and operation, marine\nsafety training and ocean survival. The latter\nactivities centre on the Freedom Found Boat\nProgram which is an integral part of the\nMetchosin Camp program.\nThe motor vessel Freedom Found, a 56-foot\nformer Ministry of Forests coastal patrol\nboat, can accommodate up to 10 passengers.\nDuring 1980-81, there were 45 training trips\ninvolving 396 passengers. Most of these trips\nwere Metchosin Camp outings. The program\nplaces youths in an unfamiliar setting where\nteamwork and consistent, positive behaviour\ntowards others and towards property is\nnecessary for both their safety and survival.\nDuring 1980-81, 80 young probationers\nattended Metchosin Camp. Of this number,\n67 successfully completed the program. In\naddition to 11 regular groups, Metchosin\nCamp operated a special program during the\nsummer months to service the North Island\nDistrict and also offered one course for\nyounger offenders, aged 11 to 13.\nThe total replacement of buildings and\nfacilities at Metchosin Camp is a branch\npriority; however, this building project is\ncurrently being held in abeyance while\nconsideration is given to relocating the\nprogram.\nContracted Services\nIn addition to Branch initiatives, a variety of\ncontracted services are used in the Vancouver\nIsland Region to broaden the range of\nprograms and services of the Branch and to\nmeet specific needs when the resources or\npersonnel are not available within the\nMinistry. Contracted services also provide\nvaluable, and sometimes less costly,\nalternatives to Branch services.\nTo provide alternative accommodation for\njuvenile and adult offenders, community-\n25\n Activity Reports\n-\n,~IU.J\nbased residential centres (CBRC's) operate\nthroughout the Region. Some are private\nagencies providing accommodation for\ngroups; others are operated by private\ncitizens and offer accommodation for one or\ntwo persons.\nAs a less costly alternative to secure remand\nbeds in the Region, a number of\ncommunities, including Port McNeill and\nCampbell River, contract for private juvenile\nremand bed space. During the year, there has\nbeen an increase in the provision of private\nremand bed space throughout the Region.\nCampbell River contracted its Community\nService Order Program on a part-time basis\nto offset the increasing workload of the\nProbation Officer. As an alternative to the\nclassroom situation, this community also\nexperimented with an individualized\napproach to the Impaired Drivers' Education\nProgram in co-operation with the Drug and\nAlcohol Commission. Regular Impaired\nDrivers' Education Courses were offered in\nCourtenay, Port Alberni and Nanaimo,\namong other centres.\nIn the northern part of the Island, contracted\nservices include the Courtenay Alternate\nSchool, the Diversion and Juvenile\nAccountability Board operated by the\nNanaimo John Howard Society, Campbell\nRiver Youth Outreach and the Port Alberni\nAttendance Program.\nIn the southern part of the Island, the\nCommunity Diversion Centre in Victoria is a\ncontracted service which focuses on\ncounselling and activity programs as an\nalternative to the conventional formal justice\nsystem response for those convicted of minor\noffences.\nThe Duncan Volunteer Society was\ncontracted to operate the Community Service\nOrder Program in that community and the\nNative Courtworker Program continued to\noperate successfully, despite a reduction in\nstaff. A contract with the Lake Cowichan\nActivity and Resource Centre resulted in the\n26\nintegration of a number of services, inffl\nthe activity centre, a streetworker, alterris\neducation and job search assistance.\nVancouver Region\nPorteau Cove Camp\nPorteau Cove Camp is located in a setrH\nisolated setting about 56 kilometres noS\nVancouver on Howe Sound.

The centre provides\ntraining and programs to prepare residents for\neffective reintegration with the community.\nThe major focus of the centre's program is to\nplace residents in jobs as quickly as possible\nafter admission. Despite difficulties with the\nlabour market, the centre has been\nremarkably successful in realizing this goal.\nOf the 207 persons admitted to the centre in\n1980-81, 196 of them were successfully\nemployed. Most of them found work within\nseven to ten days after arrival. Job placement\ncounselling is available for those people who\nlack basic skills in job application and\ninterview techniques.\nBeginning in March 1980, the centre began\nto receive admissions on direct entry from the\ncourts. Although this demands extra\npaperwork for centre staff, the new procedure\nfor admissions has been integrated smoothly\nwith the administration of the centre.\nTransfers are still received from other\ninstitutions in the region.\nIn addition to the individualized counselling\nthat is central to the program at the centre,\nthe Impaired Drivers' Education Course is\noffered whenever it is needed, depending on\nthe resident population and their reasons for\nbeing at the centre. Because many residents\nat the centre have alcohol-related problems,\nthere was increased surveillance for\ncontraband through the year. More effective\nenforcement of the centre's strict discipline\ncode during the year resulted in a reduction\nin the number of transfers back to the Lower\nMainland Regional Correctional Centre.\n27\n-L\u2014\n Activity Reports\nResidents at the centre during the year were\nalso involved in educational upgrading or\nvocational training. They were encouraged to\ntake part in community recreation activities\nand sports.

The program provides\nan alternative to incarceration of juveniles\nand allows them to remain in the community\nwhile receiving the supervision and support\nof a Probation Officer.\nThe program priority is to provide intensive\nsupervision for a selected number of\nindividuals who are on probation. This is\nachieved by assigning a limited number of\njuveniles to each of the program workers,\nwho then organize their time to provide for\nthe separate supervision of each individual\nfor whom they have responsibility.\nDuring the period of intensive supervision,\nworkers participate with the juveniles in a\nvariety of activities. The goal is to provide\nthe probationers with opportunities to\nsuccessfully acquire and improve social,\nrecreational and vocational skills.\nDuring 1980-81, 132 juveniles on probation\nparticipated in the program. They took part in\na wide range of activities, all of which took\nplace in the community using facilities and\nresources which are available to the general\npublic. Activities included shopping, laundry,\nmowing lawns, walking, visiting, sewing and\ncooking, and strenuous activities, such as\nhiking, racquetball, skating, floor hockey,\nbasketball, swimming and skiing. Work-\nrelated activities included job-hunting,\nbabysitting, painting, laying floor covering,\ndecorating, cleaning fireplaces, washing cars,\ndelivering papers, woodworking and fixing\ntires.\n28\nThe three major difficulties over the cod\nthe year\u2014learning how to supervise dill\nto-manage adolescents within the comi m\nsetting, providing continuous service vik\nstaff were involved with mandatory tram\nand gaining access to funds budgeted ll\nactivities\u2014were challenges the staff ir i\\\\\npositive efforts.

It provides\naccommodation for up to eight men, although\nuse is generally limited because of the\nspecialized nature of the program. Southview\nPlace is an unstaffed facility where residents\nare carefully selected for their motivation to\nwork. It provides an effective alternate\nenvironment where selected offenders can\naccomplish re-entry into the community.\nAt present the building is in excellent\ncondition. Recent renovations have included\na new roof, conversion of the oil furnace to\ngas and repainting the interior and exterior of\nthe house.\nExcept for building maintenance, the\nprogram incurs no direct costs since\nparticipants work and with their earnings they\nsupply their own food, clothing and supplies;\npay the bills; and replace furniture and\nutensils as required. Families of the residents\nare free to visit in order to maintain family\nrelationships and residents are expected to\nsupport their families from their earnings.\n29\nULtt.\n Activity Reports\nWith recent changes in the B.C. Board of\nParole and the Temporary Absence Program,\noccupancy rates in Southview Place and other\nsimilar facilities were affected. In fact, by the\nend of the year, Southview Place was\nunoccupied. A priority for next year would\nbe finding a way to effectively and fully\nutilize this valuable facility.\nBrittain River Camp\nBrittain River Camp is located in an isolated\nsetting on Jervis Inlet. On January 1, 1981,\nthis Region took over responsibility for\ndevelopment of the camp from Vancouver\nIsland Regional Correctional Centre.\nAlthough it is now managed by the North\nFraser Region, this camp serves the entire\nprovince.\nThe unique re-entry program at the camp\nemploys selected individuals on Temporary\nAbsence and involves them in a juvenile tree\nspacing project for the Ministry of Forests\nwhich provides the necessary supervision.\nParticipants in the project are encouraged to\ngraduate to piece-type work where they can\nincrease .their pay.\nAt the present time, the camp facilities are\nstill under construction. On completion in\nMay 1981, Brittain River Camp is expected\nto accommodate 20 men. At the present time,\nhowever, occupancy averages six men.\nContracted Services\nCommunity-based Residential Centres for\nadults were provided to the Region during the\nyear by St. Leonards House, the Seven Step\nSociety, Belavista Motel and the Maple\nRidge Treatment Centre. Through this\ncontracted service, accommodation was\nprovided for 40 offenders.\nUtilization of community-based residential\nbed-space varied during the year. Initially, the\ndemand was very high. Later in the year,\nwhen changes in the Temporary Absence\nProgram were implemented and the new B.C.\nBoard of Parole took office, utilization\ndropped dramatically.

It operates from\nPierce Creek Camp located in a wilderness\nsetting in the Chilliwack area. The program\nconsists of short courses on wilderness\nsurvival training, including first aid, the care\nand use of hand tools, physical training,\ncanoeing, hiking, camping and other skills\nnecessary to live and travel in the wilderness.\nDuring their course, probationers also carry\nout worthwhile community service projects,\nsuch as campground maintenance, fire\nsuppression and participation in the Salmonid\nEnhancement Program.\nA priority for 1980-81 was to reorganize the\nprogram to maintain its capacity and program\ntype and at the same time reduce its cost. The\nresulting reorganization was implemented in\nJanuary 1981. The new program has a\nslightly lower overall capacity but can now\naccept youths on direct entry from the courts.\nAn unfortunate loss resulting from economic\nnecessity was the program's ability to accept\nfemale probationers since this was the only\nprovincial attendance resource for girls.\nThe program change was achieved ahead of\nschedule at a saving and the overall per diem\ncost for the future has been reduced\nsignificantly.\nDuring 1980-81, 165 probationers were\nreferred to the wilderness challenge of the\nDASH program. Of this number, 147\ncompleted the course, with 78 of those\nearning a full pass.\nContracted Services\nAs in previous years, community-based\nresidential centre accommodation and related\nservices were contracted for extensively\nthroughout the Region.\nThe House of Concord Residential\nAttendance Program in Langley provides\n31\nri-\n Activity Reports\naccommodation for 42 male probationers\naged 14 to 19. It offers educational,\nvocational and life skills training as well as\nemployment experience. The House of\nConcord also sponsors a weekend wilderness\nattendance program and a day attendance\nprogram, which together accommodate an\nadditional 23 youths. Although the residential\nprogram was well attended during 1980-81,\nthe day and weekend programs were underutilized and will likely not be continued next\nyear.\nThe Starting Point Community Remand\nHome, sponsored by the Community\nResource Society in North Surrey, provides\ncommunity remand facilities for juveniles of\nboth sexes. The capacity is nine. The Moffat\nRemand Home in Richmond, with a capacity\nof seven, also offers community remand for\njuveniles of both sexes. The Teen Challenge\nProgram provides a home-like environment\nthrough its residential facilities for\nindividuals on Conditional Release Order,\nTemporary Absence, Parole or Probation.\nThe Surrey Community Re-entry Centre\noffers community re-entry services to the\nChilliwack and Haney Forest Camps and to\nindividuals on parole or probation. For the\nthird year in a row, utilization of the centre\nwas down. Specifically, the Temporary\nAbsence Program was severely restricted by\nthe terms of the new parole legislation and\nthe Direct Entry Program was implemented\nmore slowly than anticipated. The centre was\nsuccessful in finding employment for those\nresidents motivated to work. Alternate\nprogram considerations for 1980-81 would\nensure more effective utilization of this\nvaluable community resource.\nIn July 1980, a new youth remand home\ncalled One Way Place was opened in\nAbbotsford. The home is operated by the\nOne Way Adventure Foundation and provides\naccommodation for eight juveniles.

The focus of its\nprogram is to provide worthwhile and\nprofitable work experience as a means of\nacquiring the skills necessary for positive reentry into the community.\n33\n During 1980-81, the centre achieved this goal\nthrough a unique work project where\nresidents of the centre formed an independent\nSociety\u2014the Inmate Welfare Contracting\nSociety\u2014to enter into contracts and provide\nemployment within the private sector.\nThis community-supported venture was most\nsuccessful during the year. Through a number\nof diverse contracts, the Society earned\n$146,343.69. After taxes and various other\npayments, the balance was divided among\nmembers of the Society. This provided\nvaluable training in money management and\nalso meant that residents had funds to be self-\nsufficient upon release.\nContracts during 1980-81 included cutting\nand delivering stakes to two pole plants;\nland-clearing; cutting and delivering firewood\nfor the Parks Branch; selling firewood to the\npublic; house painting; garage and shop\ncleanup; clearing of right of ways for the\nMinistry of Transportation and Highways;\nand manufacturing wood blocking for the setup of mobile homes.\nIn addition to their contracts, members of the\nSociety contributed to the community 2 845\nvoluntary man-hours of work and 450 hours\nof heavy equipment operation, worth a total\nof $37,087.50. Community service projects\nincluded clearing land for the Terrace Rod\nand Gun Club; bucking snags, burning slash\nand clean-up for the Parks Branch; removal\nof old bleachers, tree thinning and grubbing\nof underbrush; snow removal, gardening and\ncutting, splitting and delivering firewood for\nTerrace and area seniors and needy families;\nplayground site preparation for the Jack Cook\nSchool for mentally-handicapped children;\nfence construction for the playground of the\nUnited Church Children's Home; painting the\ninside of 'Ksan House; and clean-up and\npainting Skeena Residence #2 for the\nmentally handicapped.\nThe success of the I.W. Contracting Society\nenabled the centre to achieve financial\nstability during the year. The Society also\nacquired a truck-type loader and purchased a\nflat-deck truck, power saws, a stationary\n34\nwoodsaw, a mechanical wood splitter, nan i\ntools and mechanical tools. B.C. Buildingi\nCorporation donated a wheel-type loader, it\nSociety maintains all equipment and tools\nand contributes towards the maintenance <\nthe centre.\nLeisure-time activities at the centre incluc\nswimming, bowling, fishing and visits to ea\nlocal movie theatre.\nContracted Services\nIn the Northern Region, the relative isola'4\nof many population centres and the vast aat\nover which the Branch has jurisdiction\nchallenges the Branch to find ways to prcd\nthe same range and diversity of service^\nare available in the more highly populatei I\nsouthwestern part of the province. Extenses\nuse of contracted services is one way of\nmeeting that challenge. In addition to \u25a0\nproviding residential accommodation foM\nyouths and adults, contracted services|\nprovide for the administration of the\nCommunity Service Order Program in miy\ncentres and also ensure the provision of |\nvarious attendance programs, including t\nImpaired Drivers' Course and Project SM\nAdventure, a diversion project for 12 to\nyear-olds.\nDuring 1980-81, a total of 27 services mh\n$293,000 were contracted by the Northe\nRegion. Because of the value of theseBJ\nservices and the flexibility they allow thi\nBranch in responding to program needs,\ncontracted services in the Northern Regit\nare likely to increase in the future.\nIn January 1981, a new community-basf;\nresidential centre was established in TeajSI\nIt provides two beds for female offendeiib\nwho do not require secure custody.\nThere is a very high need for programs m\nfacilities for juveniles in the Region.

Juvenile\nfeiquents in the Region thus often find\nl^lves facing containment as the only\nIIMive. A priority is to provide expanded\naces to meet these needs in the future.\nost principal centres, the Community\neice Order Program is administered on a\nfflact basis. For example, in Kitimat, the\nream is looked after by the Kitimat\ngffinity Services Society. Similar\narrangements are made in Terrace, Smithers,\nPrince George, Fort St. John and a number of\nother centres. In some very small or isolated\ncommunities, such as Lower Post, Fort\nNelson and Atlin, the administration of the\nCommunity Service Order Program is the\nresponsibility of volunteers. In Prince\nRupert, a Community Service Officer is\nunder contract full-time. These diverse ways\nof providing administration ensure that a\nmost valuable program continues to flourish\nin the Region.\nThe Impaired Drivers' Course was contracted\nfor in Prince George, Williams Lake, 100\nMile House, Dawson Creek, Fort St. John\nand Fort Nelson. Research contracts in the\nRegion included an attitudinal study of native\njuveniles in the justice system, a study of the\njustice system in isolated areas and an\nevaluation of the Skeena Youth Work\nIncentive Program. Research and evaluative\nstudies help the Region to plan its corrections\nprograms to best meet the particular needs of\nthe area.\n35\n Activity Reports\nProbation and Family Services: Activity Description\nProbation Officers provide a wide range of\nservices to Courts and communities\nthroughout the province. Services include:\nSupervision of adult and juvenile offenders:\nJuveniles and adults convicted of\noffences may be ordered to abide by the\nconditions of a probation order, which\nmay include reporting to a Probation\nOfficer.

One response to this need through\nyr was a focus on diversion programs\nImitative measures to deflect\ntyuals away from confrontations with the\nijustice system.

In Courtenay, 228\nfants in the program contributed\nI (\/hours of work to the community. The\n9i Family Services Office administered\nSeniles who contributed 9 198 hours of\n% at ranged from helping to build a\n( eenhouse to washing windows at the\n9'n Army headquarters. With the\n'C of the community, the Sidney\nOi, established in June 1980,\ndeveloped through the year. In Colwood,\nprogram placements average 27 a month. To\nmeet anticipated expansion of the program,\nthe Nanaimo office produced a Standards\nManual for the Community Service Order\nProgram.\nOther Region-wide concerns included\nseeking community-based support to ensure\nthe continuation of programs threatened by\nfunding restrictions, and planning programs\nand staff deployment to avoid the\nunnecessary duplication of services.\nThe need to provide family-related services\nfluctuated through the year as the Region\nresponded initially to the impact of legislative\nchanges and later in the year to ensuing\npolicy changes within the Branch. Most\noffices reported an initial decrease in family-\nrelated services, followed by an increase and\nstabilization. With continuing growth in\npopulation, Nanaimo anticipates an increase\nin the demand for family services in the next\nfiscal year. Victoria is planning to open an\nnew family services office next year to meet\nthe anticipated increase in demand in the\narea. Sidney introduced a family services\noffice during the year in response to a\ngrowing need for counselling in family\nmatters in the Saanich peninsula. The only\noffice reporting a consistent decrease in\nfamily service cases over the year was\nColwood.\nStaff in many offices are using a team\napproach to handling workloads. This\nensures close co-operation within the Branch\nand also develops good relationships with\nrelated justice system officials and other\nrelated government and private sector\nagencies. The teamwork concept also helps\neliminate the unnecessary duplication of tasks\nor services related to an individual who may\nbe involved in more than one case.\nDeveloping good community relations is a\npriority. Courtenay is involved in the\ndevelopment of such community resources as\nthe Volunteer Bureau and the Youth Chance\nSociety. In the Sidney office, staff are\ninvolved in the Community Counselling\nCentre, the Native Resource Group and the\n37\n Alcohol Awareness Program. The Colwood\noffice has also increased involvement in the\ncommunity during the year through contacts\nwith the Pacific Centre Youth Counselling\nProgram, and liaison with the R.C.M.P. and\nwith the Ministry of Human Resources.\nPart of this thrust is community education. A\nbenefit of a community familiar with Branch\nprograms and services is increased volunteer\nsupport for programs and activities. The\nColwood office wants to expand the volunteer\nprogram for next year to provide assistance\nwith the supervision of juvenile delinquents,\nparticularly in the Sooke area. With heavier\ncaseloads and limitations on staff and\nbudgets, volunteers will play an increasingly\nimportant role in the Region.\nDuring the year, continued close liaison was\nmaintained with educational institutions\ntraining people for social work. Students\nfrom the University of Victoria and Camosun\nCollege obtained field-work experience in the\nSidney and Victoria offices.\nGenerally through the year, the Region's\noffices sought to enhance and expand\nservices and resources. The Port Alberni\nOffice provided more regular service to the\nwest coast communities of Tofino, Ucluelet\nand Ahousat through monthly Court\nattendance and meetings twice a month with\nprobationers. The Nanaimo office\nconcentrated on streamlining services to\neffectively meet the increased demand\nanticipated next year. Courtenay developed\nattendance programs and, along with the\nVictoria Adult Probation Office, initiated\nvictim reparation services through the\nCommunity Service Order Program. Sidney\nconcentrated on the development of\nPreventative Programs. The Duncan office\nparticipated in the House Arrest Program.\nIn Victoria, the specialized Case\nManagement Unit co-ordinated services\nrelated to the case management process by\nproviding classification for the Region,\nscreening and processing all applications for\nTemporary Absence, processing applications\nfor B.C. Parole and supervising contracts for\n38\ncommunity-based residential centres ami\nremand homes in the Region.

Adult Probation\nic in the Region also reported an\n8 ion of the Community Service Order\nigm. The increased hours worked in this\nigm indicate its success as a viable\nirtive to incarceration. In the Vancouver\n\u00bbi, more than 75 000 hours of work\nordered through the program.

The office also\noperates a successful adult diversion\nprogram. During the year, there were 113\nreferrals for diversion.\nThe Vancouver Court Adult Probation Service\nOffice acts as a community information\ncentre for the Branch. In 1980-81, the office\nprovided service to 4 500 clients; the number\nof non-client inquiries was not recorded.\nSeveral adult probation offices concentrated\non broadening and improving their\nrelationship with the community. The South\nWest Office emphasized improved relations\nwith agencies and individuals providing\nMental Health Care. Other offices\nconcentrated on improved service to the\ncommunity. In the North Shore District,\nservice to the more remote communities of\nBella Bella, Bella Coola, Ocean Falls,\nNamu, Klemtu and River's Inlet was\nincreased to once every three weeks instead\nof once every six weeks.\nThe plan to open a regular office in Bella\nCoola in June 1981 will mean an even further\nimprovement in service to the community.\nThe plan to open a Pemberton-Whistler office\nthis year was not realized and service\ncontinues to be provided to these\ncommunities from Squamish.\nPending a final legislative decision regarding\nthe Province's role in family relations\nmatters, caseloads in Family Services\ncontinued to fluctuate. Some offices reported\nincreases in cases related to access, custody\nand Maintenance Orders, but generally,\ncaseloads were reduced. For example, the\nYale Street Intake Unit reported a drop from\nan average of 99 cases to an average of 66\ncases related to family matters.\nIn an expansion of services, the West End\nAdult Probation and Family Court Services\nOffice added a component providing services\nto the Supreme Court relative to matters of\nfamily conflict. The East District also\nreassigned a Family Court counsellor to\nprovide services to the Supreme Court of\nBritish Columbia.\nDuring the year, the North Shore District\nparticipated in the Inter-agency Committee on\n39\n\u2014i\n Child Abuse and the North Shore Child\nAbuse Team.\nEfforts in 1980-81 to integrate an office to\nprovide adult, juvenile and family services\nmet with difficulties. East District will\ncontinue the pilot project for one more year.\nMany offices reported an overall increase in\nworkload and anticipate even greater\nincreases in the future. With this view,\nadequate staffing of all Probation and Family\nService offices in the Region will be a\npriority for next year.\nNorth Fraser Region\nProbation and Family Services\nThere are seven Probation and Family\nServices offices in the Region, located in\nBurnaby, Coquitlam, Maple Ridge and New\nWestminster.\nThe Region was active in implementing the\nnew B.C. Parole system as an effective\nmeans of community re-entry. Of a total of\n541 parolees this year, 232 were from the\nNorth Fraser Region. The Regional staff also\nworked on a project to establish Parole\nguidelines, policies and a Parole handbook\nfor Regional Corrections Staff.\nThose offices providing services for juveniles\nnoted a decrease in the diversion rate for\n1980-81, meaning that more juveniles\nappeared before the courts. The resulting\npressure produced a decrease in the quality of\nservice from the Courts. This could be\nalleviated by the provision of more alternative\nfacilities and programs for juveniles and the\navailability of portable courtrooms. With the\nclosure of the DASH Program to female\nparticipants, it is particularly important to\nprovide a suitable replacement program. In\naddition, a specialized secure treatment\nfacility is required to meet the needs of\njuveniles in the Region.\nIn October 1980, the Coquitlam Alternatives\nProgram became a daily attendance program\nfor any juveniles not working or attending\n40\nschool. The program focus was the\ndevelopment of life skills.\nIn December 1980, a diversion shopliftg\nprogram for juveniles was implemented!\nCoquitlam. In this program, juvenilesH\nreferred by the store owners to the R.GU\nand from them, directly to ProbatioiMl\n1980-81, there were 52 referrals.

Reorganization achieved a fairer\ndistribution of the workload and resulted in\nbetter service to the communities involved.\nMost offices in the Region continued their\nfocus on prevention, improved relationship\nand involvement with the communities they\nserve and promotion for a greater\nunderstanding of the corrections process.\nThroughout the Region, the Inter-ministerial\nChildren's Committee maintained its coordinating role to ensure the most effective\nservice from a broad range of related\nagencies in matters affecting juveniles.\nThe Community Service Order Program\nexpanded through the year. It is an\nincreasingly important alternative in the\ncorrections system, particularly because of\nthe reparative potential of the work assigned.\nIn October 1980, a major evaluation of the\nprogram was initiated in the Region. A final\nreport is not expected until August 1981.\nMeanwhile, recommendations published in\nan interim report will be implemented in\n1981-82.\nJuvenile caseloads in the Region varied from\noffice to office but the concern for increasing\njuvenile delinquency rates remains high.\nInitiatives implemented in the Region during\nthe year to help prevent juvenile delinquency\nincluded a co-ordinated effort with local\nmerchants in White Rock to reduce the\npotential for criminal and delinquent\nbehaviour in the Semiahmoo Mall Shopping\nCentre. In Surrey, there was a greater focus\non reparation and victim assistance in\njuvenile assignments through the Community\nService Order Program. Chilliwack\nimplemented SCOOP\u2014School Children Out\nof Place. This joint School Board, R.C.M.P.\nand Corrections program keeps track of\nchildren on the street who ought to be in\nschool. In Mission, a similar program was\ninitiated with the local R.C.M.P. to identify\n'street kids'. During the year, the Mission\noffice was also involved with starting a\njuvenile attendance program at Davis Lake.\nIn the Cloverdale office, juvenile caseloads\nwere far below what had been anticipated for\n41\n Activity Reports\nthe year and it was recommended that the\noffice be phased out and the staff relocated.\nCommunity Service Order statistics for the\nRegion are incomplete; however, those\nfigures that are availabie indicate a\nconsiderable increase in the use of this\nalternative. In Richmond in the calendar year\n1980, 19 000 hours were assigned. In Delta,\n165 participants completed 5 424 hours of\nwork. In Chilliwack, 107 assignments\nresulted in 6 550 hours of work. Mission\nnoted a drop in program statistics following\nthe resignation of the regular supervisor;\nhowever, the community still recorded 3 790\nhours of work. In Abbotsford, 3 840 hours of\nwork were performed on 61 assignments. In\nJanuary 1981, Langley added a Community\nService Order Program Officer and hopes to\nenhance the program's effectiveness in the\nfuture.\nPopulation growth in the Region has resulted\nin increasing pressures on Corrections staff.\nThis is particularly true in adult probation\nwhere caseloads remain high and the demand\nfor investigative reports has increased\nannually.\nDuring the calendar year 1980, 92 referrals\ncompleted the Richmond Impaired Drivers'\nCourse. In Chilliwack, the Proctor Program\nfor females continued, although bed-space\nwas reduced to one, as noted in the\nCommunity-based Program section of this\nreport. In Surrey, the Adult Probation office\nassisted in the establishment of a community\ncrime prevention program. A high level of\ninter-agency co-operation ensured delivery of\na full range of services for adults supervised\nby this office.\nIn most Family Services offices, the shifting\nemphasis in family matters produced a\ndramatic increase in requests for custody and\naccess reports, particularly in the last quarter\nof the year. This trend can be expected to\ncontinue. Family Services counsellors\nmaintained their focus on conciliation in the\nresolution of difficulties. As in other\nRegions, the changing responsibilities of\nFamily Service counsellors demands a\n42\nstandardization of their role in order tojais\nthem in the provision of service.\nThe Region operated a number of sate*\noffices during the year. Chilliwack   I\nmaintained an office in Agassiz to serve\nAgassiz and Harrison Hot Springs. The oj\nsatellite office in Boston Bar relocated fin\nits temporary quarters in a trailer to an\napartment in the area.\nIn the South Fraser Region, as in the reo\nthe province, the impact of the new B.C\nParole System and its effect on the I\nTemporary Absence Program was felt va\ninmate work releases were no longer al\u00bb\nto utilize community-based residentiff\ncentres.

In all\nbut the larger centres, this program was\nadministered on a contract basis.\nIn Lillooet, 37 persons performed 2 352\nhours of work. In Ashcroft, participants\nworked for 1 938 hours. In Kamloops,\nreferrals averaged 42 a month, many of these\nbeing juveniles. In Revelstoke, 55\nassignments resulted in 4 214 hours of work.\nIn Vernon, 189 were referred to the program.\nFigures were high in the Kootenay District as\nwell. An innovative approach was used in\nTrail, Grand Forks and Greenwood, where\n20% of those assigned designed their own\nprojects. In Penticton, with the help of the\nLions Club and the Library, assignees\nprepared tapes of books for use by the blind.\nIndividuals assigned to the program may be\neither court-ordered or diverted, making the\nprogram a valuable alternative for both the\ncourts and Probation Officers.\nFamily Service Officers in the Region\ncontinued to provide valuable services to\nfamilies in conflict, concentrating on\nconciliation and counselling to resolve a large\nportion of the cases. Clearwater offered a\nfamily relations workshop through the North\nThompson Life Society. The manual\ndistributed by the B.C. Council for the\nFamily was useful in pre-marital counselling.\nIn Neison, Divorce\/Separation Experience\nPrograms were attended by 75 people.\nThe Kamloops office provides one of the\nmost comprehensive range of services in the\nprovince in family matters. During the year,\nfamily court services in Kamloops were\ninitially drastically curtailed while staff\nsought ways to work within the changing\nguidelines for their involvement in family\nrelations. Gradually, through the year, these\nservices were re-established.\nIn 1980-81, a significant trend in the Region\nwas the courts' reduced use of the Impaired\nDrivers' Course. Those communities where\nthe course remained viable, such as\nKelowna, worked very closely with the\nAlcohol and Drug Commission and other\nrelated agencies to modify the course to\n43\n'\u2014\n Activity Reports\nbetter meet the needs of those convicted of\nimpaired driving. It was felt that a revised\ncourse with a preventative focus could be\nused effectively in the schools and elsewhere\nin the community.\nNorthern Region\nProbation and Family Services\nA full range of services is provided to the\nmain communities in the Northern Region\nfrom offices in Dawson Creek, Fort St. John,\nKitimat, Mackenzie, Prince George, Prince\nRupert, Queen Charlotte Islands, Quesnel,\nSmithers, Terrace and Vanderhoof. Outlying\ncommunities are serviced on a regular\nvisiting basis by staff from nearby larger\ncentres. This year, Terrace added Lower Post\nand Atlin to the list of smaller communities\nserviced in this way.\nContracted services are used extensively in\nthis Region to supplement statutory services\nprovided by the Corrections staff. They are a\nmore flexible form of service and can be\nadjusted to respond to the changing levels of\ndemand.\nCentres reporting increases in caseloads,\nsuch as Prince Rupert, Kitimat and Prince\nGeorge, also experienced rapid industrial\ngrowth and related population expansion. A\ngrave concern is the increasing severity in the\nnature of offences in these centres. Fort\nNelson reported a drop in caseload, related to\nthe reduced level of gas exploration in the\narea and the shift in population.\nThroughout the Region, offices expressed a\nconcern about the inadequacy of programs\nand facilities for juveniles. Because of the\nlack of secure remand facilities and\nattendance programs, juveniles have to be\nsent outside their own area for these services\nor kept in secure containment in the Region.\nNeither existing solution is acceptable. A\npriority for 1981-82 is the enhancement of\njuvenile programs and facilities to match the\nRegion's requirements. This would include a\nsecure remand centre in Prince George\n44\ncapable of accommodating from six to ei;4\njuveniles. Facilities and services are alsra\nneeded for female juveniles and for distu*\nyoungsters aged 10 to 14.\nSignificant initiatives in youth work in th\nRegion included the team approach by al\ninvolved agencies in the Queen Charlofflll\nIslands, where 80% of the caseload is na\njuveniles.

The Prince Rupert office\nexpanded family services in the area of\nconsent orders and counselling agreements.\nSmithers also reported an expansion of family\nservices. Many offices, such as 100 Mile\nHouse, offer family services informally since\nthey do not have adequate specialized staff to\nmeet this need.\n45\n\t\n Management Support Services: Activity Description\nIII\nManagement Support Services comprises a\nnumber of sections which provide the\nspecialized services necessary to operate\ncorrectional facilities and programs\nthroughout the province. They include the\nResource Analysis, Program Analysis and\nEvaluation, and Information Services\nSections, all located in Victoria, and the Staff\nDevelopment, Provincial Classification,\nPyschological Services, Medical Services\nand Religious Programs Sections, all located\nin the Vancouver area.\nResource Analysis Section\nIn August 1980, as anticipated, the\nOperations and Management Systems Section\nwas combined with the Resource Analysis\nSection.\nThe role of the Resource Analysis Section is\nto support Branch resource management and\nprovide analysis regarding these resources.\nThis includes a broad spectrum of financial,\ndata systems, manpower, facilities, food\nservices and material resources. The Section\nalso provides liaison with central agencies\nover these matters.\nApproximately 80% of the budget of\nCorrections Branch is composed of staff\ncosts. One of the responsibilities of the\nResource Analysis Section is the\ndocumentation of the numbers, classifications\nand locations of administrative, institutional\nand community service staff of the Branch\nfor budgeting and other purposes. The\nsection is also responsible for the coordination of the budget cycle each fiscal\nyear with regional management, and the\npreparation of progress reports on Branch\nexpenditures throughout the year. The section\nalso assumes responsibility for these\nfunctions for the Commissioner's Office.\nResource Analysis supplies administrative\nservices such as requisitioning and\nvouchering for Branch-wide material\n46\nrequirements and for various components\nthe Commissioner's Office in Victoria!\nThe responsibilities of the Resource Anasii\nSection with regard to electronic data\nprocessing include the maintenance, uSjflj\nand improvement of the Provincial ClienS\nFile, a computerized record containing\ncurrent and historical information on all |\nformal cases served by the Branch since i\n1972, and the provision of this informatiu\nCorrections field staff.\nThe Provincial Offender File is refereno I\nregularly by operations staff for current r\noffender location status and history. ,ASp\nmost inmate classifications are based onte\nfile.\nDuring 1980-81, the section installed^\ncomputer terminals in all the regional\ncorrectional centres, the Provincial I\nClassification Office in Vancouver, anfljai\nVancouver Court Team Probation Office!\nFacsimile machines were installed in ml\nregional correctional centres and the\nProvincial Classification Office to enafte:\ntransmission of exact copies of legal\ndocumentation on clients and to send toie\nResource Analysis Section data for daiL:\nupdate of the Provincial Offender FileS\nIn 1981, a local institutional system foi\nautomation of inmate record management\ninitiated on a pilot basis.

The\n:tn developed the course curricula and\nJ'led instructional resources in\nniction with Vancouver Region's\nsrce Co-ordinator.\nn\/ format for variance analysis and\ntesting was developed and will be\nlamented in 1981-82.\nProgram Analysis and Evaluation\nThe role of the Program Analysis and\nEvaluation Section is to provide the Branch\nwith analysis and evaluation regarding\npolicies, standards, programs, procedures,\nregulations and legislation in order to assist\nin decision-making and in advocating the\ndevelopment of new correctional programs.\nAn additional function of the section is\ncommunicating within the Branch, the\nMinistry and other ministries and relevant\nagencies, information related to correctional\nprograms.\nSignificant achievements in 1980-81 included\nthe leadership role taken by the section in\nresponding to the proposed Federal Young\nOffenders Act which will replace the 1929\nJuvenile Delinquents Act. The section also\nspearheaded a major provincial project to\ndesign a consistent, systematic method of\nevaluating all correctional programs with the\nobjective of assisting managers in decisionmaking at the local level and also facilitating\ncomparisons across the system for regional\nand Branch managers.\nDuring the year, the Program Analysis and\nEvaluation Section acted as a resource to a\nmanagement consultant firm in the\ndevelopment of the Staff Planning Technique\ndesigned to forecast staff requirements in 92\noffices across the province.This initiative\ntogether with the previously mentioned Post\nReview provide the basis for the\nestablishment of Corrections Branch Staffing\nStandards.\nThe section also designed and\/or maintained\nOperational Manuals for field staff in relation\nto the delivery of services in adult\ninstitutions, juvenile institutions, family\nservices, and adult and juvenile probation\nservices.\nInformation Services\nThe objectives of Information Services are to\ninform various publics of Branch policies and\nprograms; to inform Branch staff of Branch\npolicies, programs and procedures regarding\n47\n operations; to keep the Branch informed on\npublic opinion of corrections programs; and\nto consult with staff on communication\nissues. These objectives were achieved\nthrough planned communications, as well as\nthrough the production and distribution of\nprinted and audio visual materials used by\ncorrections staff and others within the\ncriminal justice system.\nDuring the year, the production of materials\nincluded the Ministerial Briefing Book,\nCorrections Newsletter (monthly), News\nReleases, Bulletins, Annual Report, news\nclippings, and the development or revision of\na variety of booklets and brochures.\nInformation Services also developed Branch\nCommunication objectives for inclusion in\nBranch priorities.\nTravel throughout the province to liaise with\nBranch staff on communication matters and\nto highlight programs through various\nmediums continued to be a priority of\nInformation Services. During the year, the\nDirector visited most offices in every Region.\nSeveral projects involving Information\nServices were initiated in 1980. They\nincluded the drafting of a Branch Media\nPolicy for Institutions, developing an\nInformation Section for a Management\nManual of Operations, and producing\nguidelines for a new format in the preparation\nand writing of the Branch Annual Report. In\naddition, the Information Services Division\nwas involved with regional planning\nworkshops, consulting on communication\nissues and assisting in the promotion of the\nwork of related agencies who assist the\nBranch in carrying out its programs.\nStaff Development\nThe Staff Development Division provides a\nrange of training courses and related services\nto ensure that all Branch staff complete\nrequired training. These services include\nbasic training for new institutional\nemployees, probation officers and line\nmanagers, and also advanced training to\nincrease and update the skills of established\n48\nstaff. The division also provides experffi\nrelated to planning career development^\npolicy, maintains a manpower informafS\nsystem, and acts as a resource and consul\nto the field on unscheduled training neeus\nFurther priorities of the division included\ndeveloping an effective system of analS\nBranch training needs and evaluating flffl\nresults; completing a cost-benefit analW\nreport of every course offered to ensuresBL\noptimum use of Staff Development reseB\nproviding courses for managers; impreH^\nskills and knowledge in Human Resoiffl\nManagement; and developing effectiveM\nrelationships with other justice systemBJ\ntraining groups.\nWith the mandatory requirement for offl\njob professional development, Corrects\nBranch commits the highest number of stl\ndays to training of any government mima\nThis year, the total number of days\ncommitted to staff development was 9\/W\nfor a total of 1 491 students from acroS\nprovince. In addition to attendance atS\noffered by the Staff Development Divffl\nthe Justice Institute, 117 persons appliedi\nand received a total of $12,547.47 in ffl|\nsubsidies provided by the Public Service\nCommission and Staff Development ftH\nFive others were granted educational lea!\ncomplete their studies.!\nIn addition to regularly scheduled course j\nthere were several innovative courses!\"\ndeveloped to meet specific field needs\nincluded Hostage Survival, Career Planrj\nConflict Resolution by Mediation, Violet\nin Families, Managing and Resolvingj\nConflict, and Situational Leadership.]\nDuring the year, the Institutional Service:\nSection refined the basic Juvenile Secur:\nOfficer course and also field-tested sevel\ntesting processes that will be implement \u25a0\nnext year.

Wherever possible, Community and\njffilonal programs were integrated.\nng 1980-81, administrative support staff\ngiven their first centrally developed\nling, and more secretarial courses are\nlira for next year. The manpower\nRy became a reality and will be a\nime tool for both staff development and\n:eld. A study was begun to establish a\nlierency base for family court counsellors\njm in identifying training needs and to\ntlSh criteria for recruitment and\ntion. A set of physical fitness standards\nHmttitv officers was introduced to the\njffions Branch, and Basic Training\nContent was adjusted to allow time for\nfflttraining and testing.\ntincial Classification\nHHnain responsibility of Provincial\nification to place sentenced inmates in\nppriate correctional facilities as soon as\nsble after sentence and to react quickly to\ncsary placement changes. Further\n[risibilities include advising the Branch\nt; profile of inmate population and the\n) appropriate distribution of inmates\n\"correctional facilities; advising the\na:mon the criteria for classification and\ntards for judgement; recommending\n3jOTcriteria for classification to various\nr:tional facilities; controlling legal\ncnentation of inmate transfers; and\nllting and distributing information on\nJigs, inmate counts, and inmate location\n' ch institution.\nllpon, the staff of Provincial\na.fication manage International Transfer\nptments and Exchange of Services\niffints between the Government of\nUfa and the Government of British\nJima. These agreements allow for the\ntransfer of inmates to provincial institutions\nto serve their sentences closer to their\nfamilies, communities or friends. Transfers\nmay also be effected to provide an offender\nwith specific training opportunities otherwise\nunavailable.\nMuch of the information base relating to\nProvincial Classification work is now\ncomputerized, providing a readily accessible,\nup-to-date resource for Branch and institution\nstaff.\nDuring the year, a total of 9 038\nclassifications and reclassifications were\nconducted throughout the province. A drop in\nplacements at the Lower Mainland Regional\nCorrectional Centre resulted from the\nimplementation of the Alternate Entry\nProgram for the three lower mainland regions\nwhich allowed for initial classifications to be\nconducted at a number of locations, including\nthe Provincial Courts at 222 Main Street,\nVancouver, the North Fraser Regional\nReception Centre at Alouette River\nCorrectional Centre, and Chilliwack Security\nUnit, in addition to the Lower Mainland\nRegional Correctional Centre.\nProvincial Classification for the Vancouver\nIsland Region is the responsibility of the\nspecialized Case Management Unit in\nVictoria. Within the Vancouver Island,\nInterior and Northern Regions, Classification\nOfficers are responsible to the Regional\nDirector for classification within the Regions\nand to the Director of Provincial\nClassification for inter-regional placements.\nThe number of initial classifications at the\nLower Mainland Regional Correctional\nCentre has risen constantly over the years,\ntaxing the centre's classification system and\naccommodations. As a result, the population\nthere is carefully monitored to ensure that the\nfacility is used only when necessary, and to\nidentify potential transfers to more suitable\nalternate facilities. The implementation of the\nalternate entry program has also helped to\nalleviate the situation at the centre.\n49\n Activity Reports\nPsychological Services\nThe Corrections Branch has one full-time\nsenior psychologist who is responsible for the\ndelivery of all psychological services\nthroughout the Branch. There are, in\naddition, some ten sessionally contracted\npsychologists who each work from one to\nfive sessions per week.\nThe major thrust in providing pyschological\nservices within the Branch continued to be\nthe development of community resources.\nDespite this priority, the Branch continued to\nprovide some direct services, such as in the\ncase management of inmates with serious\npsychological\/behavioural problems. Limited\ndirect psychological treatment of offenders is\navailable in some correctional centres, but\nthese services are primarily for short-term\ncrisis intervention rather than ongoing\ntreatment.\nDuring the year, Psychological Services\nadopted the British Columbia Pyschological\nAssociation's Standards for Providers of\nPsychological Services. The Corrections\nBranch has taken the initiative of adopting\nthese standards and is now in the process of\nimplementing them. The expectation is that\nthe B.C. Pyschological Association will work\ntogether with the B.C. Medical Association\nto develop accreditation procedures for\nservices within correctional facilities.\nThis year, the Branch's Clinical Research\nCommittee, chaired by the Senior\nPsychologist, chose as a focus for its work\nmatters related to sex offenders. The Forensic\nPsychiatric Services Commission has shown\na continued interest in developing a\nspecialized program for these offenders and\nthe Branch has been working in co-operation\nwith them on this project. Members of the\nDepartment of Criminology at Simon Fraser\nUniversity have also shown an active interest\nin assisting in the analysis of Branch\ninformation on sex offenders.\nReligious Programs\nReligious programs are co-ordinated by a\nDirector based in Vancouver. A staff of full-\n50\ntime, part-time and voluntary chaplain\u00bb\nensure that pastoral care and counsellirH\nwell as spiritual support are provided for\noffenders, juvenile delinquents, staff and\ntheir respective families thoughout the\nprovince. In addition, it is the responsjM\nof the staff of Religious Programs to liais\nwith and involve community churchesBM\nindividuals and groups in correctionauB\nactivities.\nThe planned training course for new   j\nchaplains was not realized this year; how;\ndiscussions with the Pastoral Institute ot|\nBritish Columbia were initiated with affij\nto providing further training opportunimStf\nchaplains. In the meantime, the Directffl\nthe Section provided a more intensiveBJ\norientation for two new chaplains.\nTo meet the objective of providing serwg|\nequitably among all regions and institutes\nsome additional services were introduced i\nyear, notably in Terrace, at the Victoria ^ji\nDetention Centre and the Interior Regior i\nWeekly services were provided by all\nchaplains. In addition, opportunities weivl\nprovided to offenders to attend churcfm\nservices in the community on a regular la\nat three centres and as requested in at E:\nfive centres. At the Vancouver IslandBJ\nRegional Correctional Centre, the chaplij;\nheld services in the cells on the tiers. At\nAlouette River Correctional Centre the |i\nservices took on new meaning as thejBj\nfocused on the twelve steps of recovery tl\nAlcoholics Anonymous Program.\nIn virtually all centres, an ongoing concn:\nwas the lack of adequate facilities for\nconducting services and providing pastol\ncare and counselling. The concern for i]\nproviding equitable service to all centre! s :\ndemanded schedule preparation to ensuts\nbalance of services to such centres as\nAlouette River Correctional Centre and vu\nMaples. An attempt was also made duriJl\nyear to enhance the services at the Lakele\nCentre and to find ways to involve new\nvolunteers in this activity. Religious seree:\n Jible to Lakeview Camp and Camp Point\nS^nained inadequate. This will be\nfined when the chaplain's position and\nvon of responsibilities is confirmed next\ni\nuection was involved in initiatives to\nitive the methods of communicating and\nlireting the role and functions of the\nijfflto community churches. The Director\n(: Section acted as a resource person to\njsfllrnative Committee established by the\nA rial Church Council on Justice and\n(tenons.\nliaplains were involved to an extent in\neing engagements in the community. In\ndon most chaplains were involved in the\nitment, orientation and supervision of\nteers involved in religious\noams.Virtually all chaplains were\njslgl in sponsoring M2\/W2 programs and\nciolics Anonymous. They also provided\nn, bible study discussion groups and\nns musical, dramatic and recreational\noams.\nuiection attempts to ensure that a variety\nligious programs is made available. In\neng this goal, the chaplain at Willingdon\nin Detention Centre reported that\noams at the centre included a combined\ninight, church service, visitation\nnam. In addition, the volunteers from\n2\/2 Christian Volunteers in Corrections\noded a one-to-one sponsorship program,\nuligible residents of the centre, there was\neeekly bible study program called \"Teen\niT and a weekly \"Addictions Awareness\"\noam in which various volunteer groups\niripated.\nt tncouver Island Regional Correctional\neie, the chaplain provided a\nRitionship Enrichment Group\" primarily\nir aching communication skills between\nisrnds (inmates) and their wives. He also\nicored programs on how to handle stress.\nt ikeside Centre the chaplain reported\nxattendance at regular church services but\ninterest and participation in informal\nisission groups held regularly in the\nMion rooms.\nBy far the major portion of chaplains' time\nduring the year was given to the care and\ncounselling of individual offenders. Family\nand marriage counselling was provided by\nvirtually all chaplains. The chaplain at\nVancouver Island Regional Correctional\nCentre also made counselling available to the\nchildren of inmates.\nChaplains worked closely with community\ngroups involved in providing programs to the\nvarious institutions. Other work included\nmeetings and consultations related to the\ndevelopment of standards for the Religious\nPrograms Section, administrative\nresponsibility, travel and training.\nMedical Services\nMedical Services to offenders are coordinated by one full-time senior medical\nofficer. Priorities of the Medical Services\nSection include the provision of medical\nservices; the maintenance of security, as\nrequired, for the protection of the public; the\nupgrading of facilities; and the adoption and\nimplementation of Provincial Standards\nrelating to the provision of medical services\nto those incarcerated. A major concern\nduring 1980-81 was trying to meet an\nincreased demand for services with\ninadequate facilities and resources.\nMedical Services staff maintained a high\ndegree of professionalism during the year in\nthe provision of services and related duties.\nThey developed and maintained positive\nrelationships with many outside agencies\nproviding related services and with the\nrelated professional services of the\nCorrections Branch.\nEach Corrections Branch facility has local\ndoctors and dentists available to visit the\nfacility regularly, so that 90% of all medical\nproblems are handled locally. When an\noffender requires hospital services and\nsecurity is not an issue, medical facilities in\nthe nearest community are used. Offenders\nrequiring medical attention who are likely\nescape risks or who require protective\ncustody, however, are treated in the limited\n51\n medical facilities within secure custodial\nfacilities.\nThe hospital at the Lower Mainland Regional\nCorrectional Centre serves as a centralized\nfacility used for such offenders. It can\naccommodate up to 40 patients. Until the\nearly part of 1979, the Lower Mainland\nRegional Correctional Centre Hospital also\nhad access to a secure ward at Vancouver\nGeneral Hospital for surgery and treatment\nthat could not be provided on site. The\nclosure of the ward has resulted in additional\ncosts to provide individual security. In\naddition, during the year, there were five\nescapes from Vancouver General Hospital\nresulting from the lack of provision of a ;\nsecure ward. It has remained a prioritBII\nseek an effective resolution to this probH\nDental standards at the Lower Mainlan* j\nRegional Correctional Centre Hospital\u2122\nbeen upgraded to meet the standards of I\nBritish Columbia College of Dental\nSurgeons. In addition, visiting speciaB\nincluded a psychiatrist, dermatologist^\noptometrist, physiotherapist, an E.E.G.\ntechnician and a T.B. consultant. TheB\nHospital also routinely provided x-rayM\nlaboratory analyses, out-patient diagnosi\nand some surgery, as well as respond\u2122\nemergencies.\n52\n Dection and Standards Division: Activity Description and Report\nBe chief priority of the Inspection and\na lards Division to ensure the maintenance\nnigh level of standards in service\n[S facilities, security and personal\nistion.\n(neve this, the division inspects all\natonal centres, youth containment\nass, remand facilities and other Branch\nies. It also investigates any matter on\n! ritten request of the Minister or\njfflbioner, including escapes, suicides\ndtaff misconduct. In addition, the\n^investigates complaints received\nninmates, youths in containment or on\ntia, probationers, parolees, youths on\nJfflmal release and parents of youths\nd Corrections Branch supervision. The\njicm also responds to inquiries and\nfsts, from staff and inmates alike, on\nitrs dealing with the administration of\nah policy, rules and regulations. A final\nijnsibility is the review of inmate appeals\nc lief against disciplinary hearing findings\n'disposition.\niig the past two years, a key task has\nethe development of service delivery\nmrds. In 1980-81, 25 sections of the\nactions Branch Manual of Standards\naig with programs and performance were\nULed, published and distributed to each of\n: ranch sites in the province. This is the\nt realization of a long-term project to\nvjp and implement standards for the\nah. The completion of the project will\nnever increasing demands on the\nnon.\n11 g 1980-81, all Corrections Branch\nwile facilities were inspected by the\nwon. By utilizing inspectors from local\nsafety, health and fire departments, the team\ninspection concept was emphasized. In\naddition, Corrections Branch expertise was\nadded in the assessment of security,\noperational policy and management\nprocedures.\nBecause of staff commitments to the\ndevelopment of the Manual of Standards, no\nadult facilities were inspected this year. A\nprogram of inspections for adult facilities has\nbeen prepared and will be implemented\nduring 1981-82.\nDuring 1980-81, a total of 50 investigations\nwere undertaken by division staff at the\nrequest of the Minister or Commissioner.\nThey dealt with assault, accidents, escapes,\nincidents and disturbances, inmate deaths and\nsuicides, and staff misconduct.\nOver the course of the year, the division also\ndealt with a total of 301 inmate complaints.\nThis represents a 28% decrease from the\nnumber of complaints processed the previous\nyear. These complaints were, for the most\npart, resolved or referred too appropriate\nagencies for resolution. The Division also\naddressed 52 appeals for review of\ndisciplinary hearings, of which 25% were\nallowed.\nDuring the past year, the responsibilities of\nthe division's Branch Safety Officer were\nenlarged to encompass those of a Ministry\nSafety Officer. This Officer assisted in the\ndevelopment of the Health and Safety\nCommittees at strategic locations throughout\nthe province. He also initiated a computer\ndata program whereby all reported accidents\ncan now be tabulated, categorized and cost\nanalyzed in detail. The division plans further\nrefinement to this process in the coming year.\n53\n Appendix A\nOS\nn z\nz uj 2\nOS o\u00a3 E-\nxSbi\nas < o;\nOzO\nz o (->\ngo\n2\nOS\nP CO\nn z\nw
