Please post any information here that relates to the Canadian Prison system.
Does anyone know about this center? It is in Matsqui,BC near Abbotsford. Most Federal inmates go here first to be assessed before they go to their Mother Institution.....

well, I need 3 more posts to actually link urls and talk about something, so I'll answer this outdated question in the event someone else is wondering.

You don't see these often, but that part of Matsqui you're referring to is sort of an independent intake institution. With most other places, you would be tentatively put in an instituiton based on a temporary security rating while the intake assessment is being completed...sort of like prison limbo. There's not much for programs or things to do during that time and you can't get any property from outside. The benefit to a place like Matsqui's intake is that it's away from remand and you can be tentatively placed there if you are already or about to be sentenced federally.

Is that RRAC?
Is this where they decide which security level you go on (med or max) and which faciliity you'll be placed into based on your progress made and behaviour while on remand or bail?
