Ignorance at the Eidtorial level is No Excuse

The editorial in today's Sun regarding Canadians in foreign prisons is so uninformed, so comically wrong that I actually started to laugh out loud.

Harper and Day have said that they are not quick to bring Canadians jailbirds back to Canada to serve their sentences.

Listen to the Sun's outrageously ignorant argument:

"If they're transferred to Canada, they'll receive the benefit of programming, and be subject to gradual and structured release, under the watchful eye of parole officers...."

HAHAHAHAHA....

The benefit of programming? In Canadian prisons? WHAT programs are these? Where are they? Do they work? Answer, of course is there are almost no programs and the few that exist are there only to keep the most dangerous among us off the streets - namely, psychiatrists.

Now for the supervision under the watchful eye of parole officers...HAHAHA...

Two weeks ago, a violent parolee who lives directly across the street from me, attacked with no provocation, other than that he was high on drugs and booze and had nothing else to do that night, a teenage boy, smashed all the kid's teeth with a rock and sent him to the hospital.

Four police cars "attended."

The psycho asshole parolee - no doubt, under some genius' watchful eye all the while - was taken downtown and then released.

Has his parole been revoked for what is an obvious violation of his parole conditions?

Of course not.

The editorial literally does not know what it is talking about.

Prisons have very few programs. Programs do not work in prisons. You know why? BECAUSE THEY'RE IN PRISONS.

And every day in this country, some lovely human waste called a parolee kills, rapes or maims a citizen while under the watchful eye of some sad sack parole officer who spends 98% of his day in his cubicle filling out false reports.
