Our correctional system is based on a very logical model, which is intake at sentencing with assessment to determine both risk and criminogenic need, then prescription of a correctional program to address the risk and need. The security classification is included in the placement.
Of course the reason why we invest so much time and money into corrections is to have a positive outcome for the offender and for the offender's community, contributing to public safety. If you only do the assessment part and you don't do the program part, then you're not getting the maximum return on your investment. If we see an increase in offenders being released either at their statutory release date or their warrant expiry date, that suggests we're not doing enough to intervene with the appropriate programs at the appropriate time.
