Canada's prisons watchdog has released his latest report, much of it on sexual abuse behind bars. "Sexual violence is a pervasive but under-reported problem in federal prisons." oci-bec.gc.ca/cnt/comm/press…
I did an investigation into this two years ago. Basically, we have very little data or reporting related to sexual assaults in correctional facilities. edmontonjournal.com/news/insight/v… Image
Oh it's cited in here! Image
Interestingly, Zinger is calling for a Canadian version of the U.S. Prison Rape Elimination Act, which collects detailed stats on sex assaults in American corrections. Image

Here is a worrying op-ed from today's paper: "As emergency-room and intensive-care unit physicians working in the Edmonton zone, we feel obligated to inform you about the worrisome strain on our health-care system — Edmonton is at a tipping point." edmontonjournal.com/opinion/column…
"We ask our patients to please understand all health-care workers are doing our best and you may not be admitted to hospital for issues that you previously would have been."
Outbreaks & COVID precautions "have stalled movement within the hospital and out of hospital. Patients admitted ... with pneumonia or stroke currently have no place to go. This means your loved ones are sitting in the (ER) for up to 1 week before they are moved to a regular bed."
