CDRC

 

The Correctional Service of Canada (CSC) and St. Leonard's Society of Toronto have a partnership through the development of the Crossroads Day Reporting Centre (CDRC). The CDRC represents a critical component in the continuum of care within the context of community based corrections consistent with objectives related to a safer community and enhanced offender reintegration.

 

The CDRC targets higher risk/need offenders in the community by delivering a program that is proactive and integrates evidence-based components resulting from up to date research in community corrections and offenders rehabilitation.

 

The primary objective of the CDRC is to work within the guideline of CSC, the National Parole Board, and its parole offices, while honoring the needs of the local community. We contribute to enhanced community safety and decreased victimization through the facilitation of the higher risk offender’s successful reintegration. The CDRC can help meet the challenges of community supervision (i.e. parole) by accepting high risk offenders, utilizing the most updated evidence-based risk/need assessment instruments and developing and implementing an individualized case management plan that targets services and community resources to offenders’ needs. Counseling is done one-to-one and the frequency of reporting as well as the types of needs addressed vary for each offender.

Community Maintenance Program

 

The Community Maintenance Program (CMP) is a generic aftercare program designed as a follow up for all national Correctional Services Canada (CSC) programs with a relapse prevention component. The purpose of the program is to review skills which are taught in the "feeder" programs, and try to apply the skills to problems, high risk situations and obstacles in the community which can lead to re-offending.
