The Sentencing and Parole Project (SPP) prides itself on authoring Enhanced Pre-Sentence Reports (EPSRs) for Black and racialized offenders, and sees this as important and necessary part of the sentencing process for marginalized individuals.

The process to complete EPSRs is often complex due to the in-depth and highly individualized approach our social workers undertake to write and present a comprehensive review of the offenders background for the Court. Our social workers are also tasked with identifying and examining anti-Black racism in relation to clients life experiences which is an involved part of the report writing process and all of which takes considerable time to complete an accurate and thorough report to assist the Court.

Depending on the complexity of the individual’s circumstances it is reasonable for the report writing process to take up to three months. Less or more time may be required depending on the circumstances to ensure that systemic factors are investigated and conveyed in writing in a meaningful manner.

*Please note that inquiries through this website about obtaining an EPSR are welcome. However, only after SPP staff have responded and received in writing all additional information requested, will the SPP confirm engagement.

***Please note that while we would like to serve as many people as we can, the SPP reserves the right to prioritize and decline requests for EPSRs depending on resource and capacity issues.***
