On March 21, 2018, the Protecteur du citoyen released a special investigation report on the consequences of the increase in intermittent sentences in Québec correctional facilities.

Findings

In its report, the Protecteur du citoyen made 17 recommendations, most of them to the Ministère de la Sécurité publique and two to the Ministère de la Justice. They were aimed at making the detention conditions of people serving intermittent sentences tolerable.
