We've been calling for the service to have a national gangs strategy and also a specific initiative for the de-affiliation of gangs. So far, we haven't been able to convince the service of the benefit of having such an overall strategy and initiative.
We've documented some of the concerns we have with respect to younger prisoners. We did a systemic investigation on those aged 18 to 21. It was clear that they are subject.... They are fearful for their lives. When coming into the penitentiaries, they are proactively seeking gang membership for protection. The costs associated with that are tremendous for those individuals. It perpetuates a problem.
