The thing is that most of the time, if they don't spend enough time there, they can't get into rehabilitation programs, because the first thing you know, they're playing the system. We're talking about “dead time”, that if they spend, let's say, a year, it's counted for double or triple the time. There's a strategy that criminals use right now, or defence attorneys use, based on the fact they won't fast-track a trial, so the accused spends more time in jail before the sentence and they know it's going to count as double time, and in some places triple time. Meanwhile, when they're in jail, there are no rehab programs; there's nothing. That's why they call it dead time.
So, for us, why we think this bill is important, and why there seems to be a consensus here—which we appreciate—is that we're talking about violent criminals. They're the ones committing the hideous crimes. Releasing them and waiting for trial—I don't think it should be done that way. It's going to be up to them to prove whether they should get out.
