Live@5: Convict escapes from Agassiz institution

Ralph Morris.

There is a Canada-wide arrest warrant this evening for convicted murderer Ralph Morris, who walked away from the minimum-security Kwikwexwelhp Healing Village near Agassiz in the middle of the night. (This is the second high-profile escape from a Corrections Canada facility in less than two weeks.)



Will anybody correct Corrections Canada?

David,

I have long thought that the solution to the 'parole board' is for those so empaneled to be part of the board also having to live in a specific community for their three years of service on the parole board. Their entire family must move to this community so that their 'decisions' will have the correct weight.

ANY PRISONER issued with 'minimum security' pass then moves into the facility located IN THE PAROLE BOARD MEMBERS special community.

Somehow I think that this arrangement would make for far less inmates getting 'parole' let alone the really dangerous ones like in the past few weeks.

It seems to me that the Corrections Canada decision makers are in Ottawa (or at least Ontario) and the prisons are far from them, meaning that they (the parole board members) never have any personal stake or concern about what happens around here on the 'left (over) coast'.

It has always been the cast that the 'non-returnable warrants' cases fled further west again and again, so too it seems with the dangerous offenders...

What a fabulous idea from Murdock! True accountability! Too bad it would fly like a brick in the corridors of power, but a tremendous idea none the less.

What in hell is a murderer doing in a "Healing Village" (such a truly canerdian bit of warm and fuzzy nonesense) in the first place?
Oh, right, the same as dangerous offenders are doing in Club Fern: walking away.
>:< as hell
