Bill C-342

44th Parl. 1st Sess.
June 14, 2023
An Act to amend the Corrections and Conditional Release Act (maximum security offenders)
  • This bill changes the Corrections and Conditional Release Act to require that dangerous offenders or those convicted of more than one first degree murder be classified as maximum security inmates and confined to a maximum security penitentiary. The bill is aimed at ensuring the secure confinement of offenders who pose a high risk to public safety and is consistent with the Canadian Victims Bill of Rights. Inmates who are eligible for this maximum security classification are not allowed unescorted temporary absences.
