Make the criminals cover the costs

Posted on: 04/03/2014 13:39

A temp program has been ended where violents exes wore GPS bracelets so they could be monitored if they got too close.

This is just one example where I feel like there is a simple solution to the funding (or at least partial funding):

 

Get the criminals to cover it.  If someone needs to wear a bracelet because they were abusing someone else, make them cover the cost.

Not Criminally Responsible Reform

Posted on: 05/30/2013 19:29

This came up on my newfeed today:

You probably remember the story of Vince Li – a man who, five years ago, beheaded and cannibalized a fellow passenger on a Greyhound bus.

He was found to be not criminally responsible for his actions – and was even granted escorted leave in to the community by the Manitoba Criminal Code Review Board.

This is an insult to his victim – and this is not what Canadians expect from their justice system.

For more than three weeks a 22-year-old man, described by police as trusting and vulnerable, was held captive, beaten, burned and sexually abused.

The man was said to be near death when a chance discovery by police led to his rescue Sunday. He had allegedly been lured to this third-floor apartment in Hamilton's Corktown neighbourhood in January.
