Life and Death in Canadian Penitentiaries

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

A federal penitentiary is a prison where individuals serve long sentences, of 2 years or longer, including life sentences. Take a second to picture a person serving a sentence in such a place. Who do you see in your mind’s eye?

Did you imagine a 70-year-old in an advanced stage of multiple sclerosis? Or a 72-year-old with metastatic lung cancer? Or a 55-year-old with an above-the-knee amputation and stage 1 dementia?
