You're right. We're filling our jails, all right, but we're filling them with the mentally ill, and the criminals are now running rampant. The frustration we have is that we would like to see some kind of sentencing regime that takes serious criminals who hurt and victimize people and sends them to jail, and then let's find an alternative, which we're currently trying to do, for the mentally ill and the addicted and get them into treatment programs.
Because that's how we're filling the jails. The number one component in our jails today, both federal and provincial, is the mentally ill. We've turned them into the insane asylums of 40 years ago and we're just ignoring that as a country. Those are the people who are filling up the spots in our jails. Let's try putting criminals in there and see what happens.
