Da'wa in Canadian Prisons--Talk About Yer Captive Audience!

There's a fundraising dinner for Canada's Islamic chaplaincy later this month. The chaplaincy--called Islam Cares--says that it works "in partnership with Correctional Service Canada and the Ontario Multi Faith Committee." It
ensures that inmates receive a prayer mat and Qur'an (in a language of their choice) as well as access to other Islamic literature, and monitor that their religious rights are preserved. As well as to guarantee that inmates receive Halal meals and are allowed to do their prayers and observe Ramadan.
But that's not where its work ends. It is also devoted to finding new recruits for the faith:
In addition to that, ICC has regular volunteers who take their time to visit Inmates in Ottawa and provide spiritual and emotional assistance. By the grace of Allah many inmates have become Muslims, spending their time in prison in a productive peaceful manner.  
And Correctional Service Canada has no problem with that? Shouldn't it?
