Mr. Speaker, more fallout from the meltdown at the Edmonton women's prison.
Inmate Tamara Papin, now at a provincial jail because she escaped custody from the Edmonton women's prison, was charged yesterday with the murder of Denise Fayant, another inmate.
The philosophy of operating a prison for violent offenders like a comfort cottage is nothing short of stupid. Fayant's death was brutal and unnecessary. Will the minister admit that the core philosophy behind the women's prison is a total failure? Will he shut it down, yes or no?
