Westmorland Institution is located in the village of Dorchester, approximately 40 kilometers from Moncton, New Brunswick. Originally an annex to Dorchester Penitentiary, this institution was established as an autonomous institution in 1975 and was named for the county in which it is located. Originally designed as an agricultural operation, Westmorland Institution has evolved into a full-fledged correctional facility offering a range of personal development, academic and vocational programs which are focused on addressing the criminogenic needs of the offenders. The geographical location of Westmorland permits the institution to carry out a farm operation on approximately 1200 hectares of land. Westmorland Institution operates without the use of physical security devices such as fences, towers or weapons, but is largely dependent upon continuous interaction between staff and inmates heading to timely resolution of issues. The whole complex includes row houses and a community building containing unit staff office facilities. 1, record 1, English, - Westmorland%20Institution

L'établissement Westmorland est situé dans le village de Dorchester, à une quarantaine de kilomètres de Moncton, au Nouveau-Brunswick. Il constituait à l'origine une annexe du pénitencier de Dorchester, mais il est devenu un établissement autonome en 1975 et a pris le nom du comté dans lequel il se trouve. Conçu au départ pour être une exploitation agricole, l'établissement Westmorland a évolué pour devenir un établissement correctionnel à part entière où sont offerts une gamme de programmes de perfectionnement personnel, d'enseignement et de formation professionnelle visant à répondre aux besoins criminogènes des délinquants. Grâce à sa situation géographique, l'établissement Westmorland peut exploiter une ferme couvrant une superficie d'environ 1200 hectares. L'établissement Westmorland fonctionne sans dispositifs de sécurité matérielle (clôtures, tours ou armes, par exemple), mais il est largement tributaire de l'interaction constante entre le personnel et les détenus, ce qui permet de résoudre les problèmes au bon moment. Le complexe dans son ensemble comprend des maisons en rangée et un bâtiment communautaire où sont installés les bureaux du personnel de l'unité. 1, record 1, French, - %C3%89tablissement%20Westmorland
