(Redirected from Joliette Institution)

Joliette Institution for Women (French: Établissement Joliette pour femmes) is a prison for women in Joliette, Quebec, northeast of Montreal, Quebec, Canada.[1] It is operated by the Correctional Service of Canada (CSC) and has a capacity of 132 prisoners.[2]

Built in 1997,[2] it originally had a capacity for 80 prisoners; it is one of several prisons that replaced the Kingston Prison for Women.[3]

Composition

[edit]

The prison has an on-site day care, and there is a parenting skills program in which prisoners may babysit children.[3]

The prison has ten two-story cottage units, with each one housing eight women.[3]

In April 2003, a maximum security wing opened, costing $4-million.[1] There is also a ten-person maximum security unit that was scheduled to be completed in 2013–2014.[2]
