Includes bibliographical references. "In 2015-16 there were 65 deaths in federal custody, the majority (65%) of which were attributed to ‘natural’ causes.1 When an inmate dies in custody or sustains serious bodily injury, the Correctional Service of Canada (CSC) is obligated to “forthwith” investigate the matter (s. 19 of the Corrections and Conditional Release Act (CCRA)) and report to the Commissioner of Corrections. The report from these investigations is also shared with the Office of the Correctional Investigator (OCI). The purpose of investigating a death in custody is to possibly prevent similar incidents from occurring in the future. The findings and recommendations from these investigations can be used to make improvements in organizational and institutional policy and practice"-Context and Background. gccst Correctional institutions Canada.
