Excalibur's Correctional Program Services
Excalibur has over 20 years of experience in delivering Correctional Programs in Canada's federal prison system. Our main area of expertise has been in providing educational programs to incarcerated men and women, although we also have experience with delivering programs focusing on violence prevention and substance abuse issues.
We are proud of our long-standing reputation for delivering programs to culturally diverse populations of federal inmates and for academic research into the effectiveness of certain correctional programs. Much of our current range of background experience and expertise in project management, dispute resolution, effective investigation techniques, proposal and report writing, etc. has been acquired through two decades of work in the field of correctional programs.
