Quirks Still living a lot better than some jobless and homeless people. Were they Angel's to get in there anyway? Should they be put in hotels?

Quirks I've seen free people living in worse conditions than this. I work with marginalized individuals who live in smaller, less sanitary places who can't even afford food. This place looks like the Ritz in comparison.

Quirks OMG really? Let’s ask why they are prisoners and start there.

Quirks I would hope the punishment would suit the crime. I don’t think solitary is cruel or unusual for the ‘thing’ that murdered my spouse and 3 others. He tore apart 4 families and shook the foundation of our community. Solitary would be too kind, frankly.

Quirks CBC used to stand for something, it's become a tax driven agenda pushing tabloid. I hope to see it be reborn into a source of information rather then what it's become

Quirks Not sure which prison this is at but I do see a big window with a view and quite a big cell

Quirks Pretty sure you dont get thrown in there for parking tickets. I'd say 340 is awfully low for the amount of bad people locked up who just want to cause others harm. Let the prisons and correctional officers do their job. These are BAD people.

Quirks Side note: FoxNews, MSNBC, CNN, CBC, Trump, Pelosi, Trudeau, etc, etc. Colonial Imperialist global destruction hard at work. I used to listen to some of CBC radio & now since the latest Venezuelan Oil Grab of Greed. CBC is equal to FoxNews. What a shame for humanity.

Quirks I wonder if solitary confinement is more cruel and unusual than the crimes the prisoners committed?

Quirks On any given day, hundreds of Canadians are payed for by the taxpayer to breathe while having been convicted of 1st, 2nd degree murder or manslaughter. No restitution is payed to victims. Victims family's support those who've taken the lives of their loved ones.

Quirks Trudeau should be going there soon. No more money for CBC.

Quirks There is no expectation of comfort for a 'prisoner', is it?

Quirks They do this to children at the Manitoba Youth Center. How would I know this? I was one of them. For 2 months before my release. For speaking out against how we were treated.
