Primary workers/Kimisinaw are the first line of contact for women offenders and play a vital role within the women's facilities. Their role is dual in nature as they perform security and case management-related duties. Not only do they maintain the safety and security of the institution, through the application of strong dynamic and static security but they also assist women offenders in achieving the objectives of their correctional plan; this, in turn, helps the women successfully reintegrate into the community.
They work as part of an interdisciplinary team composed of psychologists, behavioural counsellors, parole officers, and other interventionists. They contribute to the development of each woman offender's correctional plan and encourage the women to participate in reintegration and healing programs.
