A healing lodge is a Canadian correctional institution designed to meet the needs of Aboriginal (First Nations, Métis, and Inuit) inmates.[1][2] Healing lodges were created to address the concern that traditional prisons do not work on aboriginal offenders.[3][4] Aboriginals are over-represented in the prison system and are also more likely to be the victims of crime.[4][5] In healing lodges, the focus is on healing[6] and reconnecting with indigenous culture while inmates serve their sentences.[6][7] Connecting to nature, participating in cultural ceremonies, and learning spiritual teachings are how Healing Lodges process the rehabilitation and healing of inmates.[8] They also have access to spiritual guidance from Elders and are encouraged to maintain connections with their families and communities.[1] Healing lodges were proposed as an alternative for Aboriginal female offenders,[9] but there are now healing lodges for Aboriginal male offenders as well. Women's healing lodges are minimum/medium-security facilities, and men's healing lodges are minimum-security facilities.[1]
