Most definitely. My belief is that the more programs I can offer to all those inmates who have the need, the more likely I am to produce even better public safety results than those we have. The more opportunities I have to provide those programs and make them readily available sooner, the more I can have the inmates motivated to be part of them.
On any given day, maybe 20% of the offender population will refuse to participate in programs. They're very entrenched in criminal behaviour and don't want to be part of anything we offer. But if I can get at them and get them involved in the programs very early on in their sentences, I'm going to address that problem as well. We know if we get them involved early on, put the support around them, and work with them through their sentences, we're going to produce good public safety results both inside the institutions and out in the community.
