It is not only poor conditions inside prisons and the expansion of prisons that should be criticized, but the very idea of using incarceration as a solution to crime, says Peter Collins, a prison justice advocate. “At the end of the day, regardless of how pretty or how ugly a prison is, it’s still a prison. Deprivation does not work, you simply can’t rehabilitate someone inside a cage”.

The Dominion is a monthly paper published by an incipient network of independent journalists in Canada. It aims to provide accurate, critical coverage that is accountable to its readers and the subjects it tackles. Taking its name from Canada's official status as both a colony and a colonial force, the Dominion examines politics, culture and daily life with a view to understanding the exercise of power.
