I see them as a Correctional Service of Canada facility and I think they would be less intensive in the kind of care they would be trying to provide than the regional treatment centre you visited, or less intensive than the Brockville facility that I mentioned the province operates. It would be a step-down facility, but it's quite a crunch to go from any psychiatric hospital--forget about correctional services--right back into the community with absolutely no support. Imagine yourself in the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health in Toronto with a very advanced treatment program, and suddenly you're out in the community and you have no support or help. People who go from the regional treatment centre back into a regular penitentiary probably feel as though they've just hit a brick wall. They may well deteriorate, decompensate fairly quickly in that environment. They could be much better treated in a halfway house, if you want to call it that. That would be a correctional services institution with a less intensive kind of care, and that could very well be the avenue out into the community.
I think it's difficult for people with a serious mental illness to go from an RTC out into the community directly, and it's a waste of money to keep people in the RTC who could be handled in that less intensive environment. If that kind of facility were created, I'm sure you'd find people who could go there instead of to the RTC, to a somewhat less intensive program.
