About Us

The John Howard Society of Manitoba supports individuals in conflict with the law – before, during and after incarceration.

We are one of a very few organizations that provide support to individuals in conflict with the law. Our programs and services help address the root causes of crime, strengthen families and build safer communities. As participants make healthy life changes, they have a positive impact in their families and communities

We are a member organization of the John Howard Society of Canada, and have been operating in Manitoba since the 1950s.
