Advancing Corrections Journal - Edition #12 - Innovation in Correctional Healthcare (ACJ12-A002)
Abstract
The research explores challenges and promising practices related to the provision of quality correctional healthcare to justice-involved people in Canada during the COVID-19 pandemic. Data was collected from a roundtable comprised of Community-based Residential Facility (CBRF) operators within St. Leonard’s Society of Canada’s membership. Themes related to challenges and promising practice were identified through qualitative analysis. Based on the study’s findings and a review of international literature, the article concludes by listing recommendations for standards of practice within correctional healthcare during a wide-spread health crisis. Future research on correctional healthcare should include greater emphasis on community corrections, particularly CBRF operations.
