In an open letter to the federal, provincial and territorial governments, more than 100 doctors, nurses and other health professionals say inmates are already medically vulnerable and are likely to have infectious diseases, such as hepatitis C and HIV.
Kristy Denette, a spokeswoman the Ministry of the Solicitor General in Ontario, said the government has been working with the courts and police to reduce the number of people in custody while ensuring public safety isn't compromised. Justice Minister Caroline Wawzonek of the Northwest Territories said seven inmates have been granted temporary absences. Prisoners on intermittent sentences have also been given temporary absences.
The board is processing exceptional cases as quickly as possible for those offenders who are terminally ill or whose physical or mental health is likely to be affected while in prison, Popa said in a statement. The letter from the medical professionals says if people in prison become infected, it would be essentially impossible to stop the spread of COVID-19 in a correctional facility.
Well isn't that a great idea?. Release them into the doctor's neighborhood
So, we put our seniors in lock down jail and want to let prisoners out?
Stick to doing doctor stuff Doc
Doctors should stick to doctoring. The last thing we need are a bunch of criminals running around with no one at business etc. To watch over them. Ripe for the picking. It would be like letting mice loose in a cheeze factory.
No
Can we also give those doctors addresses to the same criminals? Ya know, so they can personally thank their advocates.?
Next you’ll be pushing to have Bernardo released. You people are disgusting
Hard NO
Maybe they should change the narration to “ Releasing prisoners will save tax payers a lot of money during this pandemic”
Criminal Psychologists would have them committed for such lunacy.
What better place to self quarantine than a prison cell! Maybe these 'doctors' can take these particular criminals into their own homes to monitor their well-being.
what a horrible idea
Put them in solitary confinement like the rest of us are.
♥️'The degree of civilization in a society can be judged by entering its prisons'.👀 Fyodor Dostoevsky
Doctors should stick to medicine.
just think about that for a minute ... hundreds of untreated felons adding to an already strained social support system
No they shouldn’t
Another With the fried brain
If the virus doesn’t kill you, the criminals will😏
JohnTory wants to put people in jail plus a fine.
No one prisoner to a cell! Social distancing accomplished !
That's bs.
Their already in quarantine. What's the issue?
Doctors should have a chat with psychologist & psychiatrist on long term effects these crimes had on their victims & stay out of inmate issues. Stay in jail & do the time. They are better off then many seniors.
What a stupid idea. The dems did it in the states so I guess its their globalist thing to do.
No way ! So they can run wild in the streets looting because they were giving a pass with nothing to show for themselves, home and money. Crime would go through the roof !
Trudeau reintegrated ISIS fighters, how bad can these guys be?
I want a 2nd Amendment then. Lol
No
Crime isn't going to stop. Put the non violent prisoners that would otherwise be released in big fenced open areas in tents away from the hardened. It'll be like a camping trip for them. Make sure you give them marshmallows in their supplies.
I am tweeting from my cell. Release us or we release you
No. Just as the seniors are isolated in their rooms, who abide by the laws, so should prisoners isolate in their cells. It's a no brainer.
Are they nuts.
They will reoffend! And that would cause more resources and tax payers! Let them serve their time!
no thanks
Releasing a lot of prisoners now should add more chaos, more homelessness. They can eat in their cells now. no need to be in the dining hall together at once.. brainstorm..
Ridiculous
Absolutely NO society doesn’t want a bunch of drug addicted thieves back on the streets when they should be doing their time .
Clearly we need more riots.
Smells like BS from . No doctor would say something so manic.
Violent offenders.... NO WAY!!
The same doctors and experts that are helping Trudeau to flatten the economy... no thank you
While people including children are cooped up in homes these doctors think criminals need more
Except for the 2 Michaels that were kidnapped and imprisoned in China - They get to rot in a substandard cell.
Probably found only two doctors who suggested this in order to doctor this 'Doctors...' headline.
'inmates are already medically vulnerable and are likely to have infectious diseases, such as hepatitis C and HIV.' Are we not going to talk about this? Fight the Pandemic Virus, with allowing Hep C and HIV back into the wild? When did this become fight a Virus with a Virus?
Sure! Great idea! Not only are we quarantined and scared let’s sprinkle in some thieves. Brilliant! Keep up the good work guys! Can’t wait to see what happens in season 2 of Dumbass.
Yeah, Release all of the murders and terrorists and we all die before the virus kill us. And we need no more doctors
Sure why not? Instead of being killed by COVID19, we’ll be robbed, raped or murdered by a criminal so they don’t get COVID19. You commit the crime, you do the time, right. fordnation
'The release of a few inmates would not solve the potential spread of COVID-19 in our facilities; it would only increase the risk for Canadians,' the union says in a statement. Incredible a union showing signs of intelligent life in the face of communism.
Hate to break this to ya folks - this already happened. Anybody who had release coming up is out.
Holy crap. My 89 year old mother is locked up in her room in an old age facility and not allowed to leave. She never broke a law in her life. Keep the jail bird scum where they belong. In the big house locked up.
The drs need to stick to doctoring.
They can all stay in the House of Commons, no one is using that right now. 👌🏻
This makes sense right? NOT! They even said this “ inmates are already medically vulnerable and are likely to have infectious diseases, such as hepatitis C and HIV. “ So it’s a good idea to release that during the pandemic🤦♀️ Serve your time!!!
I have been listening and watching what doctors and nurses have to say for the last month or so. In this situation I would like to hear what the cops have to say about it. In my mind protect the guards and the staff the best we can but keep the scum in jail.
Is this the Doctor?
Why? They are better off there! Controls of human contact and movement are far more disciplined and superior than those not incarcerated!
Fuck that.
Are these the same doctors that don't want us to have guns I've had enough with the communist medical field for the decade already, and it's only the 4th month.
Fill the countrysides with banditry
No
All of the elderly wasting away in old-folks-homes have contributed more to Canada than any of these criminals and their social distance is a whole lot less segregated than prisoners. Release them Forget that!
I agree but they should all go stay with JustinTrudeau BillBlair. Or maybe Sophie needs a few.
Yeah and the doctors can house them
No. Don't release them. Put them in their own tents around a very large field surrounded by a fence and guards. It'll be like camping. Make sure you give them marshmallows
Would those be the same crazy doctors that have been harassing duck hunters? Maybe surprise competency tests for them? Docs4GunControl lol oh and this works.
Release them to what? Who is going to pay for these people to live? I dunno if anyone noticed but most of us are at home, drawing on the system, not contributing. Criminals should be last in line to receive anything, we already pay to feed and house them. Leave them in!
Bullshit
Just as long as the law allows open carry of firearms. If the state no longer protects us then we get that right back
Oh for goodness sake!!!!!
Hard no.
Well the virtue signalling elite should take them in their own homes then...or stfu....
The world is not chaotic enough?! 😎
Absolutely insane.
I expect all law abiding citizens to start taking matter in their own hands and put their assailant down rather than hoping for the bogus laws of this country to make the difference. Stop.Victimizing.Victims.Over.And.Over.Again!!! FUCK BAIL!!!
Only if they are going to share Trudeau's cottage.
But they have to process to quarantine...Are you kidding me.🤕
The Purge: THE CONVICTS...If the virus don't get us they will....What the hell is happening with this country🤔🤔🤔
Anyone who said criminals should be released should lose their license.
Ummm no thanks... they can stay where they belong... 🙃
No, they can self isolate in prison this is insanity...
Let ‘em free🤦♂️
Why the only answer is to RELEASE inmates instead of ISOLATE inmates? If law abiding Citizen are staying at home😡 Inmates must stay in Jail, FULL STOP🛑
Each one of those doctors should invite the inmates to self-isolate in their homes with them
WHY? So they can catch the virus from the public? They should be safer in the institutions if the institutions are following the proper hygienic procedures.
Tax dollars well spent. The idiocy is never ending with these people. They are in prison for Christ sake. Deal with it!!!!!🤬
No No No. They committed a crime. Stay in jail. TrudeauWorstPM COVID19
Nope.
Wtf keep em all in there!!! If they get the virus too bad for them!
CTV Fake news . What kind of doctors?
Send them to the doctors houses
Where will they live ? Cant get jobs unless they take grocery stores. Wow ...so many things going theew my head .
Leave them in prison please.I am sure they are getting the best meals education and other luxuries we don’t have.Hopefully they can turn around their life but now is not the time.Give the money to all the seniors who have worked all their lives and are living in nursing homes
Then on top of a virus? Our safety is compromised 😡 not a solution.
COVID-19: Residents say if government releases inmates they should put them into these “doctors” fenced back yards and not onto our streets...
Ahh NO
But non criminals have to stay home
Release those Liberal voters. That will happen fast.
ARE YOU NUTS?
There's lots of room at Rideau Cottage. BTW how does one become a Covid 19 doctor? Didn't know there was a degree for that.
They can only be released ... when dead. That's a hell no on the release part. Crime is already up.
Yes let's allow the criminals out...this is the most ridiculous thing. Geez...
FK that
Gtfoh.
'Experts': You must arrest a father playing catch with his wife and daughter in a park. Social distancing must be enforced with an iron fist. Also 'Experts': Release convicted criminals from prisons everywhere. Plandemic
Yea for sure, i mean clearly theyre going to leave jail and go home and self isolate right? Listening to the rules is obviously their forté 😉
BS media liberal disease propaganda BS ..
Awesome, & hand them back their drugs & stolen hand guns, stolen cars, all the stolen property they took ! Maybe Trudeau can put them up in his cottage ?
No. No. And no. More idiot Liberals!
😳
That will end well.
Agent they safer on the inside anyway?
Why would doctors give an opinonn on this
Because they were so good at following the rules in the first place, let’s release them when following the rules is more important than ever.
Release them to go where? Roam the streets? Cut these fake Dr's lose.
Bullshit
Fucken geniuses
So while the rest of us law abiding citizens(or at least not convicted felons) are more restricted in our lives they want to give more freedom to criminals? Isolate them in their cells till it’s over not release them.
They do that already.
