Corrections Canada disciplines employees for 400 misconduct cases, 12 fired

Canada’s federal prison agency has recorded 400 cases of discipline for employee misconduct and wrongdoing that ranges from sleeping on duty to sexual harassment and excessive use of force.

Twelve of these misconduct cases resulted in termination, which was the most severe consequence. Causes for termination included bringing contraband into institutions, engaging in sexual acts in the workplace, and associating “with individuals with criminality” outside of professional duties.

The disciplinary measures were revealed in Correctional Service of Canada’s first Annual Report on Addressing Wrongdoing and Misconduct, which was published on Thursday. The report covers the 2024-25 fiscal year, which runs from April 2024 to the end of March 2025.
