More creeping industrial prison complex

The Cons are seeking to remove a bit more impartiality from the justice system.

Among the changes, the proposed legislation would enshrine in law the right of a victim of crime to participate in parole board hearings.

With the Libs having just guaranteed no election until the Fall, it's likely we'll see no opposition on this from our Loyal Opposition Party.

At the rate we're proceeding, it isn't unlikely to see the Canadian prison population balloon within the next ten years. The Libs are being goaded into helping to create a Canadian prison state. It's a rather frightening image.

Throughout the year, Howard Sapers conducts “daily snapshots” of the federal prison system, using the hammer of his mandate as chief ombudsman overseeing the Office of the Correctional Investigator.He has what he calls “golden key access.”
What he asks of prison officials, and Corrections Canada bureaucrats, he must receive.
