List of prisons in Canada

This is a list of prisons and other secure correctional facilities in Canada, not including local jails. In Canada, all offenders who receive a sentence of 24 months or greater must serve their sentence in a federal correctional facility administered by the Correctional Service of Canada. Any offender who receives a sentence less than 24 months, or who is incarcerated while awaiting trial or sentencing, must serve their sentence in a provincial correctional facility. Members of the Canadian Armed Forces serving sentences under military law serve their sentences at detention barracks designated by the Department of National Defence.
