About this statute

This Act sets correctional principles, defines key terms, and lets the Minister and certain officials make agreements about correctional services and related matters. This part sets out who can be appointed or act in corrections roles, what staff must do, and the rules for supervision, communication controls, force, and segregation of inmates. This provision sets search, detention, discipline, inmate-account, and temporary-absence rules for correctional centres. This part gives correctional officials powers over inspections, investigations, community advisory boards, work programs, inmate services, and related reporting, and creates offences and penalties for obstructing inspections or investigations. The Commissioner in Executive Council may make regulations about many correctional matters, and the Act comes into force on a day or days fixed by that authority.
