The Office of the Correctional Investigator (OCI) serves an important purpose in providing an independent investigative and review mechanism to ensure that the Correctional Service of Canada is held accountable in fulfilling its mandate. The OCI submits annual reports that highlight the status of its chief areas of concern. I would like you to consult the Report from the Office of the Correctional Investigator https://www.oci-bec.gc.ca/cnt/rpt/pdf/annrpt/annrpt20192020-eng.pdf Go to page 67 to see Learning Behind Bars: An Investigation of Educational Programming and Vocational Training in Federal Penitentiaries.
