I'd love to jump in. I don't know how much time we have.
Getting back to the issue of segregation, that is something we actively engage on with the wardens all across Canada. We have regional advocate teams that monitor the conditions of confinement all across Canada. It is a standing issue on our agenda with every warden in Canada why they continue to use segregation in all its forms. We are often told that it is the last resort, or there are no really concrete alternatives, or sometimes that the women ask for it.
We have engaged in offering alternatives, many of them community-based. If a woman can't deal with the reality of what prison life is like, why not get her an escorted temporary absence so she can engage in the community? There are alternatives that exist.
