charged in jail beating death Correctional Services Canada Acknowledges Poor Prison Conditions Canada's correctional facilities are suffering from "wear and tear," according to a recent article by the Citizen, with 80% of the nation's correctional officers (about 4,700) set to retire in the next 5 years. Spokespeople from CSC acknowledge that prison infrastructure is failing, saying that most of the service's 54 institutions are over 40 years old. While the prison system receives about $1.6 billion a year, Public Safety Minister Stockwell Day says his government may have to funnel another $225 million over the next 5 years to add, repair, and rebuild new prison cells for the expected growth in inmates due to the Conservative government's plan to stiffen prison sentences. Because more prisoners have historically been sentenced to shorter prison terms, the prisons experience a "revolving door syndrome" that taxes the stability of the facilities. CSC says there is an added burden of prison populations changing, such as an increase in younger and gang-related offenders that require different housing specifications (Aug 22, 2006 The Ottawa Citizen). Aryan Brotherhood Ruling Could Have Wide Impact on Future Death Penalty Cases After Aryan Brotherhood members Barry Mills and Tyler Bingham were convicted of murder, conspiracy and racketeering charges (some of which went back 30 years) in 2006, a federal court judge has now decided that the two members have a right to defend themselves and present evidence during their death sentencing hearing, a decision based on the result of Crawford vs. Washington in 2004. When attempting to document evidence for one of the alleged crimes for presentation during the members' upcoming death sentencing hearing, assistant US attorney Stephen Wolfe found that 3 key witnesses had either died or vanished (15 August 2006, Associated Press). The two members, who had ordered a race riot in a federal prison in Lewisburg, PA, were convicted under the Violent Crime in Aid of Racketeering law, making them both eligible for the death penalty. The main issue in this trial is whether the accused in death penalty cases has the right to confront his or her accuser at the sentencing hearing. Sentencing begins August 28. Legal network to demand Canadian Government commitment to prison needle exchanges The Canadian HIV/AIDS Legal Network is set to hold a news conference at the XVI International AIDS Conference in Toronto to press the government to keep needle exchange programs in place in Canadian prisons (14 August 2006 Canada NewsWire). Alleged prison gang member sentenced to 12 years in prison 27 year-old Pedro Garza Diaz, an alleged member of the Texas Syndicate prison gang, was sentenced to a 12 year prison term, concurrent with an additional sentence, after pleading guilty on August 7 to several counts of aggravated assault, deadly conduct, aggravated robbery and burglary of a habitation. Some of his cases involve codefendants, including the robbery offence (9 August 2006 Valley Morning Star). Pelican Bay Inmate Caught Running Prison Painting Business Murderer Donny Johnson was recently sanctioned by prison officials for creating and selling post-card sized paintings made with brushes fashioned from his own hair and ink lifted from M&Ms candies. He lives in the administrative segregation unit at Pelican Bay, confined to an 8x12 foot cell 23 hours a day, after slashing the throat of a prison guard in 1989. His painting routine consisted of purchasing 10 packages of M&Ms per month at the commissary, then soaking the candies in water. His brush is made with foil, plastic wrap, and human hair. His work was good enough to attract the attention of abstract artist Kenneth Noland, who saw a sample of his paintings in a New York Times article in July (4 August 2006 Associated Press Newswires).

Drug-smuggling attempts failed after inmates tried to throw a package of drugs over the 12 metre-high fence surrounding the facility, but threw it short and snagged it on the razor wire. A nearby guard noticed shortly after. According to the Broadcast News, the drugs in prison were worth over 10 times their value on the street.
