Carceral Committee
This committee serves as an anchor for exchanges between different fields (community, institutionnal, transition homes) on the subject of incarcerated people.
The situation of sexually transmitted and blood-borne infections (STBBIs) continues to be alarming in federal correctional facilities. Several studies show that inmates are more at risk of contracting the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and/or the hepatitis C virus (HCV) than the general population.
Although the Correctional Service of Canada (CSC) has developed several programs to counter this situation and promote the improvement of inmates’ health, it is undeniable that the involvement of other stakeholders is essential. Community organizations are essential partners in this fight and many are already working with this clientele.
