This report is intended to fulfill this goal by increasing:

• knowledge and understanding of legal and human rights issues related to HIV and HCV prevention and harm reduction in prisons;
  
• awareness of the many enabling polices and the best and promising programs for prison HIV and HCV prevention and harm reduction that exist in Canada; and
  
• the capacity of governmental, non-governmental and community organizations, and prisoners and prison staff to participate in the formulation and implementation of HIV and HCV prevention and harm reduction policy and programs.
