Dear supporters,

On Thursday May 7 th 2020, deputy premier Genevieve Guilbault announced that some prisoners in Quebec jails may be released early for medical reasons, but only if they haven’t committed a violent crime, have fewer than 30 days left in their terms and have permission for a release on medical grounds.

"It will reduce the number of inmates and it will therefore help our correctional officers apply the rules of physical distancing,” she said.

This is gives a false sense of security to the general public.

 Bordeaux is presently under solitarily confinement 23/24 and this is not human treatment.

Pressure for change is needed Now more than ever as the cases of COVID-19 keep rising in our prisons.
