Remain isolated until can behave properly: multi-level institutions (12, clustered institutions (11) The csc operates 43 facilities across the country: also 91 parole o ces, 15 community correctional centres. Provinces/territories make more extensive use of maximum-security institutions, primarily because of the responsibility for housing persons who are on remand or waiting for sentencing: textbook mentions this is a growing problem in canada. According to gartner, webster and doob (2009) there is a growth of women in custody on remand: attributed to more women in custody.
