Only 18 days away from the CPLA prison justice conference in Vancouver! It's an exciting year for prison justice cases getting leave to the SCC and a great time to reinvigorate discussion of prison justice issues.

Imagine a province being run by someone who doesn't understand the basic legal concepts of judicial independence and the duty of Crown prosecutors to be fair and impartial. They're not secrets. They are wellknown tenets of Canadian law and certainly should be known by our premier

Ibrahim Ali, who had schizophrenia, was assaulted by another inmate, police said. He was in hospital for 3 days before a social worker informed the family. By the time the family rushed to his side, doctors told them he had no chance of survival. theglobeandmail.com/canada/article…

Last year in Edmonton, 302 homeless people died. That's up eight times what it was pre-pandemic (37 in 2019). It's part of an overall alarming increase in homeless deaths across Alberta (124 in 2019 to 787 in 2023). cbc.ca/news/canada/ed…

It is extremely difficult for those on the margins of society to obtain legal relief when their rights/interests are violated/ignored. Courts should refrain from punishing those who do the difficult work of helping them, often with little or no means.

@ZivoAdam People pushed to the margins are victimized & criminalized at higher rates. One would think govts would invest in proven measures to prevent victimization & upstream community supports rather than ‘tough’ measures proven to fail time & time again. #BuildCommunitiesNotCages

Sentences to prison are the punishment for the crime: security levels within prisons are to manage risks posed by prisoners within the prisons + not punishment. Has this prisoner shown that the risks he poses can't be managed at a medium security prison? cbc.ca/news/politics/…

Canada continues to subject federal prisoners to solitary confinement under different names. All prisoners should participate in work and educational programs and maintain support networks. Define and prohibit abusive solitary. #FFRR

If this is the kind of stuff coming out of progressive politicians, the upcoming Auto-theft Summit is going to be one giant wreck caused by people at the wheel who demonstrably haven't got a clue, but insist on driving us into prison walls anyways.

This makes me think of the men went to the Edmonton Remand Centres for unpaid fines and were killed while in there Barry Stewart, unpaid LRT fine, was killed by his cell mate in 2011 and Daniel Robinson, unpaid driving fine, was killed by staff in 2021 #yeg #yegcc #ableg

When thinking about how this period of time will be remembered, it seems likely that it will eventually be acknowledged as an atrocity in the same vein as Alberta’s history of forced sterilizations. One has to wonder if the GOA, COE, and EPS are trying to kill off the homeless…

With the severe weather we’re seeing right now, these sweeps will kill people. Given the disproportionate number of Indigenous people impacted by this, I suspect that history will view this as part of a genocide. Good on @avnishnanda for fighting this.
