An offender that has less than two years to be served from the latest date of sentencing shall serve that sentence of incarceration in a provincial correctional centre. These exist in different types and are sorted into three categories as follows:

  1. Pure provincial sentences
  2. Intermittent sentences, and
  3. Fine default sentences.  

In Saskatchewan, offenders serving provincial sentences earn remission and are eligible for parole through the Federal Parole Board.

These offenders are also eligible for release under provincial supervision for the last 60 days of their sentence. This program, known as Extended Authorized Absence [EAAP] functions as a period of re-integration to bridge the offender back into the community. EAAP is administered by the Correctional Centre and acts like a short parole. Offenders on EAAP supervision in the community who violate the conditions of their EAAP are returned to the Centre on program violation where they are subject to the loss of remission and must serve the remainder of their sentence.
