The item consists of an instructional video created around 1988 by the British Columbia Corrections Branch to illustrate and describe the different types of secure custodial facilities for adult offenders in British Columbia. The video is approximately 32 minutes long and consists of colour slides with voice over audio. At the time of filming, there were three types of adult corrections centres: secure, open and community.
