The saddest thing about the coroner’s report is that most of the safeguards and remedies it advocated had been proposed — but ignored — many times.
Why hasn’t the message sunk in that solitary confinement is harmful for mentally ill kids?
How is it possible that the Ministry of the Attorney General, the Criminal Lawyers Association and Legal Aid Ontario need a coroner’s jury to point out that participants in the youth justice system need a basic knowledge of the programs and facilities available?
