Outside Ottawa

The Canadian Families and Corrections Network (CFCN) runs a family support group in the Toronto area in conjunction with Friends of Dismas.​

PASAN is a community-based Harm Reduction/HIV/HCV organization that provides support, education, and advocacy to, for, and with individuals who are incarcerated or formerly incarcerated.

Ministry of Friendship encourages the faithful to extend the hand of friendship and to get involved in a high degree of commitment with an ex-prisoner through fellowship and ‘walking together’.

Based in Saskatchewan, this Facebook group offers interesting articles and a discussion board. You must join to see the material posted.

Wives Support Facebook Group

Based in Saskatchewan, this group shares experiences as wives of those imprisoned. You must login to Facebook to participate.

We are researchers (professors and students) who wish to break the social invisibility that characterizes loved ones of incarcerated persons, an important, albeit overlooked segment of the Canadian population. Some of us have been granddaughters, daughters, sisters, spouses and/or friends of incarcerated people. Our lived experiences have made us aware of this often hidden reality.
