Working Out

Library and Archive Canada: 16mm.
"Un film mettant en lumière la complexité du double objectif poursuivi par Service correctionnel Canada: favoriser la réinsertion des détenus tout en garantissant la protection de la société. Le programme de réadaptation, fort exigeant, utilise la méthode dite de 'gestion de cas' qui réussit là ou plusieurs autres méthodes ont échoué. Les images sereines d'un ex-détenu en train d'apprivoiser sa liberté en sont un témoignage éloquent."

"This film documents how Correctional Services Canada, in co-operation with neighboring communities, works to re-integrate inmates into society through a program called 'Case Management'. The key to the program's success is inmate responsibility, supported by a network involving security staff, other prison professionals, citizen advisory groups, halfway houses, and community service organizations. By showing life inside the medium-security facility of Warkworth, near Belleville, Ontario, the film communicates the complexities of rehabilitation. More importantly, it shows a program that works."
