Nicholson under pressure to fill prisons

A spokesman for Rob Nicholson said today the Conservative Minister of Justice feels the need to increase the Canadian prison population. “We’ve got plans to bring more and bigger facilities online, and we need the requisite bodies to fill them”, said Bill Calaboose. “The model we’ve adopted is that used in California, where the number incarcerated equals the enrollment in post-secondary education. Canadians tell us there is a lot of unreported crime, and we need more room to house these unreported criminals, who are every bit as dangerous as reported ones.”

Corrections Canada is hoping for a culturally diverse prison population, one that mirrors our progressive society as a whole
