The SPS experienced an increase in the number of prisoners, had a relatively low number of escapes, and had an increase in the number of prisoner suicides. Steps were taken to prevent violence by prisoners, to teach offenders cognitive skills, and to rehabilitate sex offenders. Other significant developments included the introduction of mandatory drug testing, the creation of a psychology service to support prisoners, the provision of prisoner access to night sanitation, and new facility construction. Measures were also adopted to improve correctional personnel management. Detailed information on specific prisons characterizes program targets, progress, and key initiatives.
