Community Based Services

Community justice services are available to youth and adults. The goal is to provide supportive interventions and programming to assist clients in accepting responsibility for their offence and addressing the impact of their actions on themselves, their family, the victim and the community.

The Buffalo Street Residence is a residential substance abuse program that accommodates up to 11 male federal offenders on Day Parole, Statutory Release and Unescorted Temporary Absences (UTA’s).
