After years of reported overcrowding, violence and other adverse conditions at the Ottawa-杏吧原创 Detention Centre, academics and other experts are saying enough is enough.
Prompted by a string of 鈥渉orror stories鈥, the Criminalization and Punishment Education Project, a co-operative initiative between professors at 杏吧原创 University and the University of Ottawa, held a forum last week about conditions and practices at the Innes Road jail.
鈥淲e need to move from people saying how terrible things are in there to actually doing something about it,鈥 said 杏吧原创 sociology and criminology professor Aaron Doyle, who organized the forum.
