„He said the proposed plan would cost at least $7 billion in today’s money to build some 6,000 new beds. He based his estimates on the cheapest build the provinces are currently doing, which are 50-bed modular jails at a cost of $1.2 million per bed.“
„At the time, 81 per cent of those inmates were awaiting trial and presumptively innocent. The provincial institutions hold people who are accused of a crime but not on bail, as well as those serving sentences of two years less a day. Inmates with longer sentences are housed in the federal prison system.“
So the OPC would rather spend 7 billion or more, presumably to private construction buddies, than actually fund the court system with such a massive backlog of trials are waiting.
Tough on crime my ass. Anything to throw more public money into private hands.
Keep voting OPC!

Good. Now we need the Feds to step up and do the same. The last Federal prison was built in 1997 (a couple of existing prisons have been expanded since) but Canada’s population has grown by ~50% since.

Honestly, if we made an investment on par with this on healthcare especially mental health, most of our prisons would be less full. But we keep voting conservatives and hate calling out people who vote for them
