Purpose and Strategy

Its chief roles include the holding of prisoners and detainees under secure and suitable conditions, while preserving their dignity, meeting their basic needs, and providing corrective tools to inmates for whom such tools are appropriate. The function of these corrective tools is to improve the prisoners’ capacity for reintegrating into normative society after their release from prison.
