Annex A
Background
CORCAN is a program of the Correctional Service of Canada (CSC), dating back to the mid-1800s, when the first federal prisons were built. The objective of CORCAN is to promote offender rehabilitation by developing or improving employability.
CORCAN became a Special Operating Agency in 1992, financed through a revolving fund and is subject to the same federal legislative and regulatory authority as CSC.
CORCAN operates in 32 sites across Canadawith four business lines: manufacturing, construction, textiles and services (such as printing and laundry). A principal goal of CORCAN is to provide Offender Workers with positive job-related work habits and the opportunity to acquire real-world marketable skills. CORCAN shops operate in as businesslike a manner as possible, given their institutional setting and training imperatives. All shops are ISO-certified.
CORCAN's mission is to aid in the safe reintegration of offenders into Canadian society by providing employment and employability skills training to offenders incarcerated in federal penitentiaries and, for brief periods of time, after they are released into the community.
