Having a vision gives direction, and here at NDCS our vision is clear: Safe Prisons - Transformed Lives - Safe Communities. It’s a direct reflection of how important our work is to an orderly society.

Through the use of effective interventions, incentives and appropriate sanctions, teammates make prisons safe. By creating safe prisons where people can engage in pro-social activities and address needs that reduce their risk to reoffend, their lives are transformed. When people become contributing members of society, our communities are safe.
