Ontario is increasing adult correctional capacity by adding more than 2,500 permanent jail beds within the next decade. The government’s $3 billion investment to increase correctional capacity will ensure the system can keep pace with tougher bail and sentencing laws while supporting frontline staff with increased hiring, supports and resources. The investment includes building new correctional facilities and expanding existing facilities, with projects currently underway across the province.
