CSC ’ s strategic approach to modernisation In order to continue on this journey towards a modernised Correctional Service of Canada , Bonk and CSC are dedicated to building a modernisation approach that encompasses all aspects of CSC ’ s environment . This holistic approach considers the needs of CSC staff , stakeholders and offenders . It will allow for increased access to tailored and timely interventions , offer an environment within the institutions that is reflective of the communities offenders will be reintegrated to , and strengthen decision-making and transparency for the benefit of all Canadians .
“ What COVID has provided , is a two year proof of concept about the opportunity that technology can present ,” said Bonk . He went on to add he is keen to build upon this foundation built by the pandemic in the coming years .
“ CSC is an incredibly interesting and dynamic business line , and there ' s a lot of opportunities to transform and modernise and drive those better outcomes that lead to a better society .”
He concluded : “ Change of this nature , however , is unlikely to occur organically . The modernisation of corrections will require advocacy , investment , and a clear vision of what modernisation means in the context of the business of corrections . It will require us to focus on our bricks and mortar , our technical capabilities , and most importantly our people and our culture , to embrace new and improved correctional infrastructure , policy , processes and practices . However , the potential for benefits realised over time by adopting a holistic approach could reshape corrections as we currently understand it .”
