The acronym L.I.N.C. stands for Long-term Inmates Now in the Community.

L.I.N.C. is a self-help group run by ex-offenders, the only one of its kind in Canada. It is comprised of long-term and/or chronic offenders, parolees, spouses, other family members, friends and community volunteers.

Since 1992, L.I.N.C. has aided its members in finding ways to break the cycle of incarceration and create fulfilling, meaningful lives for themselves. L.I.N.C. encourages its members to develop positive relationships with institutional and community parole officers, utilize existing resources such as Narcotics Anonymous and Alcoholics Anonymous as well as to volunteer time and labour for worthwhile community projects.
