Ottawa Two permanent Gladue writers |
Criteria |
TI’s Gladue Program ensures that Inuit offenders have the opportunity to present their story to the courts of how they became involved in the criminal justice system following a guilty plea or a finding of guilt. Gladue reports and Gladue letters serve as a pre‑sentencing document for the judge to consider which highlights the offender’s background. Many of which include historical factors, social, economic and political issues such as drug and alcohol abuse, poverty, unemployment and the loss of cultural identity. Contained in the reports/letters are recommendations for access to culturally relevant and culturally appropriate alternatives to incarceration. Gladue submissions are only done for members of the Inuit community. Often write reports for offenders facing 90 days or more. For more information refer to: |

Hamilton, Ottawa There is an aftercare worker available. |

Gladue Reports are specifically for Indigenous women who have criminal matters before the Courts in Hamilton and Ottawa. Gladue Reports are completed where the Crown is seeking a custodial sentence of at least 90 days for an out-of-custody client or three additional months for a client who is in‑custody. Following a guilty plea or a finding of guilt, a letter will be prepared where the Crown is seeking 90 days or less of a custodial sentence. A brief letter identifying the Gladue factors and circumstances of the individual can also be prepared for the consideration of a bail hearing. |
