Sentencing

Various forms of sentencing and correctional practices aim to address legal consequences and rehabilitation for offenders. Traditional sentences include options such as intermittent or conditional sentences, fines, and incarceration, with custody levels ranging from minimum to maximum security in both federal and provincial systems.
