  • CORCAN 101
    Apr 30 2026

    CORCAN is a special operating agency within the Correctional Service of Canada (CSC) that helps federally incarcerated individuals gain real-world job skills, work experiences, and confidence they can carry into life after release.

    Through hands-on, on-the-job-training, offenders work in an environments that mirror private-sector standards, producing real products and services used by government and community partners.

    In this episode, you’ll hear from Kevin, the Senior Director of Operations at CORCAN as he explains how CORCAN works to improve employability, support safe reintegration, and contribute to public safety by reducing the risk of reoffending.

  • Security Threat Groups
    Mar 6 2026

    Traditional organized crime groups, outlaw motorcycle gangs, street gangs… On the outside, we think of them as criminal organizations. But inside Canada’s federal prisons, we refer to them as Security Threat Groups (STGs).

    STGs represent a complex and evolving challenge in federal prisons in Canada. But what exactly are these groups and how do they impact life in prison?

    In this episode, you’ll hear from Chris, a Senior Project Officer with more than 25 years of front-line experience at CSC, who explains how these groups influence safety, offender behaviour and reintegration efforts. He’ll also break down how these groups are monitored and the strategies CSC uses to maintain a safe and secure environment while supporting rehabilitation.

    You’ll hear from Patrick, an ERT member, who talks about the rigorous training, specialized equipment, and high-stakes situations they face. Whether responding to disturbances, conducting searches, or supporting institutional operations, ERTs are a cornerstone of CSC’s safety strategy.

It was basic but ok, could have had more depth. Maybe next time could be less basic.

Very standard
