Corrections overview - criminal justice system

When someone is sentenced after being convicted of a crime, they become the responsibility of either a provincial or federal government corrections agency. These agencies are responsible for working with offenders to try to help them stop committing crimes. They also protect communities by managing and controlling adult offenders.
