This project aimed to strengthen reintegration support for individuals navigating probation, bail, and post-incarceration challenges, and address how Indigenous peoples are disproportionately represented in correctional facilities across BC. By analyzing over 700 client records, this project identified service patterns and outcomes that informed the creation of a pamphlet distributed in correctional facilities, legal clinics, and community outreach events. Site visits and workshops with peer mentors and community members highlighted the importance of lived experience in building trust and fostering successful reintegration after incarceration.
