Our Advocacy Services
We provide professional advocacy and correctional-system navigation for incarcerated individuals and their families across Canada. Our services focus on fairness, accuracy, dignity, and support at every stage.
Grievance Advocacy & Rights Protection
We prepare focused, evidence-based grievance submissions grounded in sections 90 and 91 of the Corrections and Conditional Release Act and established judicial principles, including Mission Institution v. Khela (2014 SCC 24), to challenge inaccurate institutional records, address misconduct, uphold procedural fairness, and safeguard the rights, dignity, and safety of individuals within Canada's correctional system.
Family Navigation & Support
We support families with understanding the correctional system, communication, and reintegration planning.
Parole Preparation & Appeals Support
We provide comprehensive parole planning, hearing preparation, and advocacy support, including assistance with submissions and appeals grounded in sections 101 and 147 of the Corrections and Conditional Release Act (CCRA) and the landmark Supreme Court decision Mooring v. Canada (National Parole Board), [1996] 1 S.C.R. 75. We advocate for procedurally fair, transparent, and evidence-based decisions, helping individuals challenge inaccurate, outdated, or unreliable information, identify procedural deficiencies, and pursue meaningful review of parole decisions while supporting successful community reintegration.
Case Management Advocacy
We engage directly with staff to resolve issues early and promote progress and rehabilitation.
Indigenous Services & Support

Ipeelee, while promoting substantive equality, individualized assessments, culturally appropriate rehabilitation, and fair decision-making throughout Canada's justice and correctional systems.
