It's been my experience that because the approved institutional accounts held by the offenders have a transfer limit of no more than $500, they don't play a significant role. They're not providing them access to moneys. We do monitor their accounts. If they have moneys coming in from various sources that we have concerns or suspicions about, we'll refer those types of things to police authorities. We do have a number of limits and constraints around the offender bank accounts. The potential is there to use those funds to buy canteen items and things like those and then use them as a currency; but, again, we can monitor their spending and the moneys in their accounts.
In a world of technology, doing your banking through a third party in the community is the preferred option. Our intelligence folks could give you a much more articulate explanation about the black market and the drug subculture. I can just give you my personal perspective and experience as warden. With telephone and Internet banking, if I'm going to purchase narcotics from you, you would simply give me the price and I'd have to get a hold of my wife, girlfriend, or community contact to move the money to the bank account number you provided me with. The money would then get moved in the community, where it's somewhat beyond the purview of the Correctional Service of Canada.
That said, because we have the intelligence capacity and do cell searching and things of that nature, we do glean intelligence of these types of things and are then able to work with police partners to track down the movement of money. We do try to combat that.
