In
1989, a task force for federally sentenced women
in Canada was assembled to make recommendations
on how to improve the situation facing female
offenders. Its report, Creating Choices, was submitted
in April of the following year and, in September
1990, the federal government accepted the recommendations
- to close the Prison for Women (which was Canada's
only prison for women serving sentences of more
than two years), and in its stead, build four
regional prisons, plus an Aboriginal healing lodge,
based on a community living environment.
