Thank you.
You said more eloquently what I was just trying to say a minute ago in response to your previous question.
Again, one of the recommendations made by Louise Arbour and repeated by the correctional investigator in the most recent report is for a someone with mental health expertise to make an independent review of those who are currently in segregation.
We are seeing people spending longer and longer periods in those conditions and developing more mental health issues. We now have two cases where judges have actually found that prison is a risk factor for someone with a mental health issue committing a violent offence. It is not something inherent in that individual, but the fact that they have become habituated to an institutional environment that promotes that kind of response as a way to get attention in whatever way they can.
