Mr. Speaker, the chickens are coming home to roost with the government's bad punishment policies.
In Canada's overcrowded jails, prison violence has already increased 37% over five years, and it will only get worse. That is not only dangerous for staff and guards but it is also dangerous for the Canadian public when these prisoners are released back into their communities.
When will the government pay attention to the overwhelming evidence that its crime agenda creates more victims and is doing more harm than good?
