Premier Doug Ford is expressing outrage that schoolgirl killer Paul Bernardo has been transferred to a medium-security prison. “Paul Bernardo should rot in a maximum-security prison for the rest of his miserable existence. Full stop,” Ford said.
he was stunned when a Correctional Service of Canada official called him last week to tell him about Bernardo’s transfer.“I said that doesn’t make any sense because we’ve had two parole hearings with significant evidence presented, including the fact that he’s designated a dangerous offender,” the lawyer said.
“That’s a very high threshold that has to be established beyond a reasonable doubt. The parole board has said he’s just as dangerous now as he ever was. We need an explanation,” he said. “Then I asked, can you at least tell me, in medium security, is he going to be in the general population? Is he in segregation? Is he on a range of sex offenders as he was in Millhaven? They couldn’t tell me that either. So basically I ended up with nothing.”
Danson said that, for the families, “just like the parole hearings, this takes them back to day one and undoes some of the progress that they’ve made just trying to still deal with the loss of their daughters, which of course never goes away. They’re very, very upset…”Mendicino said he would be seeking an explanation from the commissioner of the corrections agency.
