Les établissements résidentiels communautaires (ERC) sont des maisons de transition. Ils permettent aux délinquants de faire la transition entre l'établissement correctionnel et la collectivité.

Ce sont, entre autres, des programmes de préparation à la vie active, des programmes relatifs à la toxicomanie et à l'emploi ainsi que des services de counseling destinés aux personnes en situation de crise. 4, record 1, French, - %C3%A9tablissement%20r%C3%A9sidentiel%20communautaire
