In its two-year reintegration plan, the Correctional Service acknowledges the utility and essential nature of programs. When an inmate arrives at intake, he is taken in and an intake assessment is conducted. That inmate's needs are evaluated in "criminogenic" terms and in terms of employment. A correctional plan is then developed, and that's when the necessary referrals are made.
