I trust the BC Supreme Court will see through the Trudeau Liberal's recent sleight-of-hand on solitary confinement. The only effective change to the rules is that a little more paperwork has to be filled out. There is still no limit to the length of time a prisoner can be confined in solitary. A warden can still send a prisoner to solitary for any or no reason at all. Prisoners with mental-health afflictions will still be send to the hole.

I urge the BC Civil Liberties Association and the John Howard Society to continue their legal challenge until this inhumane practice is ended.
