Background

A healing lodge is a Canadian correctional institution designed to meet the needs of Indigenous (First Nations, Métis, and Inuit) inmates. Healing lodges were created to address the concern that traditional prisons do not work on Indigenous offenders. Indigenous people are over-represented in the prison system and are also more likely to be the victims of crime. In healing lodges, the focus is on healing and reconnecting with indigenous culture while inmates serve their sentences. Connecting to nature, participating in cultural ceremonies, and learning spiritual teachings are how Healing Lodges process the rehabilitation and healing of inmates.
