We've moved to a different page, but that's okay; you can keep up. It's just line 3 on page 3.
This requires that we give priority to section 28 accessibility considerations in placement transfer decisions, particularly in the case of marginalized groups, women and indigenous prisoners. This is again on advice from Senator Pate, but it's also drawn from some of the conclusions of the coroner's inquiry into the death of Ashley Smith. This is from paragraph 58 of the coroner's inquest, the jury recommendation that female prisoners be accommodated in the region most proximate to her family and social supports. This principle is a priority for young adults and/or female prisoners with mental health issues and/or self-injurious behaviour.
Again, Kim Pate's testimony to the committee referenced the Supreme Court decision earlier this year. Disregarding the possibility that risk assessment tools are systematically disadvantaging indigenous prisoners is failing to abide by the statutory duty to use accurate information and to account for systemic discrimination.
Again, if it's a woman or a indigenous person confined to penitentiary, the service shall give priority to taking into account the accessibility conditions.
Thank you. I hope people like this one too.
