Thank you for that question.
I really think what Corrections has done in creating these institutions.... We have one in Hobbema. It's based on native spirituality. It's very unique in that sense, because it's unfortunate that our people have to learn their own spirituality in an institution. However, what they've done and what they've learned is something else. I think our statistics on recidivism are quite low because of the fact that they're working on themselves to heal their minds, their bodies, and their spirits. I think it's very important for places like that to continue. In our region, I'm very proud of them.
I've been involved in our institution since the day it opened in 1997. I've seen a lot of progress and I've seen a lot changes. I've seen some of the programs that we've done. Our horse program is very successful and the “In Search of Your Warrior” program is very successful. There are many other things happening there, which is good for the inmates serving their sentences.
