Thank you for the time.
The impact of overcrowding in the institutions, and an increase in the overcrowding, is going to limit access to the programs that are currently being run that assist with the rehabilitation. It will slow down individuals appearing before the National Parole Board, which in turn will add to the overcrowding because there will be a delay in release.
The other point that needs to be kept in mind is that the more time the individuals spend in the institution is in fact the less time they are going to be spending under supervision in the community. I think we are best served through the reintegration of offenders into our community in a timely fashion.
Thank you for the time.
