Justice committee  And that doesn't include capital costs; that's just the operational costs. The one thing to bear in mind, though, is the difficulty in projecting what kind of prison sentence they might actually get. As you saw in the slide about the length of conditional sentences versus averag

Justice committee  From a sentencing point of view, prison can't be combined with conditional sentencing. However, people on conditional sentence may have had a prior prison sentence, or they may have a subsequent prison sentence. We can look at those combinations, but in terms of.... I'm not sure

Justice committee  Just to clarify a point, we can tell you the average daily cost in the provincial-territorial system, which is right now about $145, if I remember correctly.

Justice committee  These are discretionary, but let's imagine.... It could be anything that reflects the conditions. There are the optional conditions, but there are also what we call standard conditions, such as keeping the peace and being on good behaviour. Essentially the person did not comply w

Justice committee  On the practical effect, we've seen some of that in the return to custody with a breach. We see 30% in these jurisdictions being admitted to custody on breaches. As far as a conditional sentence is concerned, there's very clear direction that a direct return to custody, pending a

Justice committee  Yes, we have reside/house arrest conditions and curfew conditions on conditional sentences that are effectively almost non-existent on probation, or they're very low-frequency. Those are key differences in the kinds of conditions that get imposed. Obviously, more cases that are a

Justice committee  When a person is given a conditional sentence it's the responsibility of a provincial-territorial jurisdiction probation service to look after the conditions. They frequently monitor it as part of the broader probation caseload.

Justice committee  Maybe I'll clarify a bit what we were able to generate today. From currently available analytical data, this is what we were able to do. I would probably want to draw attention to a future report, which is going to be coming out, in which we begin to look at that specific issue.

Justice committee  The last slides that you saw on correctional services, where we looked at whether they returned to custody on a breach or become re-involved, can be done by aboriginal. It's only the corrections data that allows us to do the aboriginal breakdowns.

Justice committee  Yes.

Justice committee  One of the issues one runs into all the time when we look at crime rates is essentially comparability. There are issues obviously with comparability with incarceration rates as well because of differing systems. At the CCJS there was a study done specifically looking at comparabi

Justice committee  I would just add that, on the offence, you will note, for example, in the previous slide, slide 15, where we look at incarceration as a result of a breach of conditional sentence, we do break it down by offence; and again, it's using the most serious offence concepts, which Craig

Justice committee  I wouldn't have titled it that, because we don't know that for certain; those weren't looked at specifically. It's just looking strictly at the result outcomes based on the kinds of sentences they had when they were released from the corrections system.

Justice committee  I'd like to respond very quickly here. Let's look at the proportion of aboriginal offenders who have various kinds of sentences and who are being supervised in the correctional system. As they currently stand within sentence custody, approximately 21% of people admitted to sente

Justice committee  I would like to add on this one that in this particular case, we're looking at differential return profiles, essentially, or outcome profiles of people who were released from the various statuses. It does not control for offence history, and it could very well be that the results
