Le Musée du SCC, situé à Kingston, en Ontario, rassemble une collection fascinante d'objets rappelant tous les aspects de l'histoire des services correctionnels au Canada. On y trouve entre autres des armes interdites et tout un attirail d'évasion, qui montrent le côté ingénieux et débrouillard des détenus. On y expose aussi du matériel de punition et de contrainte, qui témoigne des méthodes utilisées jadis pour maintenir l'ordre et la discipline dans les établissements canadiens, ainsi que des objets d'artisanat confectionnés par les détenus, qui évoquent le côté moins sérieux de la vie en prison.
