About BC Corrections

BC Corrections helps keep people and communities safe. We supervise adults in custody and in the community, provide programs and supports, and help people prepare to return to their communities.

BC Corrections delivers and supports its work through four main areas:

• Adult custody: The Adult Custody Division operates 10 provincial correctional centres for people who are in custody
• Community supervision and support: Community Corrections supervises people who are serving sentences in the community and connects them with programs that support safer choices
• Programs, tools and service improvement: Strategic Operations supports evidence-based decisions through research, policy, technology and service planning
• Capital facilities and spaces: The Capital Division plans and manages correctional facility projects to support safe, secure and effective operations

Teams in the assistant deputy minister’s office support this work through finance, communications, privacy and workforce planning.
