In 1965, Matsqui institution was created as what type of facility to help inmates recover from addiction?

• A. Protective custody institution
• B. Special handling institution
• C. Maximum security facility
• D. Drug rehabilitation institution

Answer: (D)

The main idea tested here is how a correctional facility can be designed around treating a specific issue rather than just housing inmates. Matsqui Institution was created to address addiction by providing structured treatment within a prison setting, making it a drug rehabilitation institution. This reflects a rehabilitative approach from that era, aiming to help inmates recover from addiction through counseling, education, and medical/psychosocial support, with the goal of reducing relapse and future crime. It stands in contrast to Protective custody, which is about safety separation; Special handling, which covers management of difficult or high-risk inmates; and Maximum security, which focuses on housing inmates who pose the greatest risk.
