Many inmates do want to get out and will do anything to achieve that. They try to find solutions, find people with whom they can make some progress. It is a mistake to tell them they are useless and worthless.
One fundamental aspect of this is that our current correctional system often does not take the victim into account, any more than it does the offender, because the Crown deals with them. Counsel for the defence and the crown prosecutor come to an agreement.
Experience has shown that those who undergo an unfortunate event together need one another to heal, but this is not something we can do on a large scale. We cannot transform all penitentiaries. When it comes to mediation, many, many victims and prisoners apply so that they can meet and try to deal with the issue.
