Victim Notification Program

The Victim Notification Program allows victims to apply to receive information about an offender serving a territorial sentence convicted of a crime against them.

This information includes:

• length of sentence;
• any changes to the sentence;
• location of institution of incarceration (including any transfer of inmate);
• release date from custody and community to which inmate will be released, if known;
• release dates, destination, and special conditions for temporary absences;
• eligibility dates for temporary absences;
• locations for temporary absences;
• special conditions imposed on temporary absences;
• if the inmate's temporary absence is suspended and the inmate is returned to custody;
• if the inmate escapes from custody and when they are returned to custody.

The program is administered by the Corrections service. All NWT correctional facilities have Victim Notification representatives.
