South Fraser County Department of Corrections

Structure

 * South Fraser County Correctional Authority: An eleven-member board chaired by the Secretary of Corrections of South Fraser County (a cabinet member of the South Fraser County Council), the SFC Correctional Authority is responsible for drafting, finalising and implementing corrections policy across its area of jurisdiction. It also acts as the supervisory body for other SFCDC directorates/bodies.

Directorates

 * Remand Directorate: Administers all institutions within the county which incarcerate individuals who, awaiting trial, were refused bail and are thus being held on remand. Inmates convicted of a crime in which further time in prison is demanded are transferred sooner than later to provincial (or rarely, federal) long-term prisons, meaning that essentially all county prisoners are still on pretrial remand;
 * Juvenile Directorate: An exception to the above are juvenile institutions. While the provincial and federal levels of government do offer juvenile programs, the great majority of persons under 18 years of age who are sentenced to time in a juvenile detention centre are sentenced to county-run centres, meaning that all county juvenile prisons function both as remand centres and long-term prisons. Only the most serious of juvenile offenders can expect to serve in provincially- or federally-run juvenile institutions.
 * Parole and Probation Directorate: Responsible for supervising those who have either been released from prison early and/or on conditions or agreeing to regularly meet with the directorate as an alternative to incarceration. Both adult and youth probationaries and parolees access services from the same directorate.
 * Logistics Directorate: Responsible for supplying all SFCDC institutions and programs with necessary resources, including food, toiletries etc. for jails and other institutions, procurement of uniforms and other clothing, and maintenance and replacement of all vehicles and other machines.
 * Tactical Response Directorate: On-the-call special tactics responders, providing special services including immediate access to narcotics-detecting K9 units, efficient yet effective prison riot control, and any other extraordinary needs.
