Double-bunking in Canadian federal corrections 2018-19 to 2022-23 / prepared by Larry Motiuk.: PS82-4/23-34E-PDF

"Projections that the Canadian federal correctional system would be facing a long-term overcrowding crisis and be forced into housing offenders in shared cells ("double-bunking") had been substantially reversed in an earlier study. It appears that this was achieved by sustained and focused efforts directed at improving correctional results (earlier releases and fewer returns) combined with expanded accommodation. Double bunk data was previously drawn for 2012-13 to 2017-18. The following provides an update on the previous with a 5-year trend spanning the pre- and post-pandemic era to 2022-23."
