On a point of order, I'm wondering if Mr. Harris is saying that the amendments actually make it more soft than it was before. In particular, it defines that restitution can be made in relation to property destroyed—and I'm certain he doesn't have any problem with that—but in the case of a serious disciplinarian offence, segregation from other inmates for a maximum of 30 days was exactly what it was before.
As a government, we now have placed the following words, “with or without restrictions on visits with family, friends, and other persons from outside the penitentiary”, which obviously gives the inmate more options while the segregation is going on. We've actually softened it, and I'm wondering if he sees that and applauds the government for that move.
