I agree with that. We don't always incarcerate them in prisons, either. There are other forms of institutions where they are held, and it's potentially to protect their safety and the safety of the public.
I wanted to address you, Doctor. I have a great respect for a fellow by the name of Jonathan Garwood in my home province, who works in the same agency that you're presently working in. We've spoken a few times about traditional teachings. My mother is a Métis woman; I am a Métis woman. She worked at the jail for kids in Manitoba and brought many of the traditional teachings to the jail.
I'm curious to know your view on whether the traditional teachings are helpful. Are there any documented cases in which they were actually helpful or effective in helping to treat people who were diagnosed with mental illness or addiction in the prison population? What, if any, effects are there?
