The glib comment about pillows is.... If I shared that with the families, that would be gut-wrenching for them. That would be a shock to them—to make light of this by talking about whether the pillows are softer or harder in medium security versus maximum security.
To suggest that transferring Bernardo to medium security does not disconnect us from the fact that he is a psychopath, to me, is just words. The fact of the matter is that he will have a lot more freedom and a lot more rights in medium security.
That's why I said earlier that the fact that the perimeter security may be the same for maximum security and medium security is irrelevant to me. This is not a discussion as to whether Paul Bernardo is going to escape from a federal penitentiary. However, he definitely has more rights, and the justification seems to be that there are more treatment programs. However, the evidence, even found by the Parole Board, is that he's not treatable.
Again, I apologize for repeating this, but it does not take into account the sheer brutality of what this man did and that the punishment side of the sentencing principles must prevail in this case.
That's my short answer to your question.
