Human rights in community corrections : report of the Working Group on Human Rights. : JS82-116/1999E-PDF

"The Working Group on Rights was asked by the Commissioner to considerseveral broad questions. 1. The applicability to community corrections of the human rights compliancemodel developed for the institutional setting. 2. Whether Canada's legal and policy framework for carrying out community corrections is consistent with international and domestic human rights law. 3. How the Canadian approach to community corrections compares with that of other countries. 4. Whether there are specific human rights issues — of interest to employees, offenders, victims or other parties — that are or could be problematic in the community corrections context. 5. Whether the Correctional Service of Canada has adequate guidelines and procedures for dealing with such issues, and how well it monitors andevaluates its compliance with them. 6. How effectively the Service communicates its aims, its operational approach and its results in community corrections. After reviewing the "Strategic Model for Monitoring Human Rights Compliance" proposed in our previous report, it is our view that its essential characteristics apply equally well to both the carceral and community situations. The framework for compliance also remains basically the same: 1. clearly articulated legal and policy rules; 2. active, explicit and readily intelligible communication of those rules to all parties; and 3. well-targeted and regular monitoring and evaluation by both internal and external agencies" -- Executive summary, page i.
