I believe it would have been helpful. I think part of what was happening at the Edmonton Institution was that it was such a rotten environment and they were so concerned. What is clear is that certain correctional officers—or guards as we may understand them—would actually lock people in longer with very dangerous inmates when they were unhappy with something that person had done. You may be a parole officer and you may want to buck the culture of bullying in the institution, and those correctional officers would have access to when you're locked in with a dangerous inmate and when you're not. To the issue of female parole officers, they would often leave those individuals in longer than they should have, if a certain set of very rotten correctional officers.... It has permeated the entire organization.
Absolutely, you can imagine that if you think you're going to be left with a severe sexual offender longer because you're challenging someone in your organization...yes.
