Sean Johnston and the organizations that include the Canadian Civil Liberties Association and the Canadian Prison Law Association are trying to compel the government to take proactive steps to ensure prisoners' safety.
They say they'd like to see the timely release of federal prisoners, especially for older inmates or those who have underlying health conditions. The suit alleges Correctional Service Canada cannot keep prisoners safe because it cannot ensure the proper physical distancing measures without reducing the prison population.
Johnston is serving a life sentence in an Ontario prison for murder and says many inmates remain in cells with bunkbeds. As of Monday, more than 200 federal prisoners have tested positive for COVID-19 and two inmates have died of the disease.
😆 and this GOV will pay ..... losers..... criminals have to deal with the shit that put them their, inmates are there through no fault of the GOV
Here comes JustinTrudeau with the tax payer’s cheque book!!
Probably putting the all in a Hotel with individual rooms, they will be happy, such as Four Seasons Hotel, that would keep both parties happy, nowadays hotels are pretty empty and this fellons will enjoy the life of the wealthy for once.
Only 2 dead convicted criminals? Actually the prison system seems to be doing a pretty good job at keeping them safe.
