Description

This fact sheet presents information on Canadian federal offenders who were admitted to federal custody between fiscal years 2010/11 and 2019/20 for an offence punishable by a mandatory minimum penalty (MMP) as the most serious offence on sentence. Data were obtained from the Correctional Service of Canada. The primary aim of this research study was to examine whether Indigenous and racialized (i.e., non-White, non-Indigenous) offenders were differentially affected by MMPs over the ten-year period.
