        "en": "<p data-HoCid=\"5587046\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, if I misidentified the Supreme Court in this case, I apologize and stand by the correct record as the member opposite pointed out. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5587047\" data-originallang=\"en\">However, the issue is this. Segregation has an extraordinarily damaging impact on prisoners who are subjected to it, especially when it is used as punishment and extends beyond 15 days. We have had case after case of people where the damage done to them has been contained while they remain in the corrections system, but when they are released into the larger population, the crimes they commit are even more horrendous than the ones that put them in jail to begin with.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5587048\" data-originallang=\"en\">We cannot allow a prison system or a justice system to make criminals more dangerous, and when it does, we have a responsibility to act. We also have to take into account the good evidence showing that if we do not address the underlying issues, extended segregation and segregation as punishment without support for the mental health or addictions issues that have put people into that situation, we will not get the results we need to make communities safe.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5587049\" data-originallang=\"en\">Being tough on crime for the sake of being political about it is one thing, but if we are going to be smart on crime, we need to end crime and the risk to populations and communities. The evidence is very clear that we have to do better with the use of segregation. It has damaged people and put communities and people at risk. </p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"5587046\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, si j'ai parl\u00e9 par erreur de la Cour supr\u00eame, je m'en excuse et je m'en tiens aux pr\u00e9cisions apport\u00e9es par le d\u00e9put\u00e9 d'en face. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5587047\" data-originallang=\"en\">Cela dit, le probl\u00e8me est que l'isolement en cellule fait \u00e9norm\u00e9ment de tort aux d\u00e9tenus qui le subissent, surtout lorsque cette pratique est employ\u00e9e comme punition pendant plus de 15 jours. Ces torts peuvent n'avoir que des effets limit\u00e9s tant que ces personnes restent dans le syst\u00e8me correctionnel, mais d\u00e8s qu'elles sont rel\u00e2ch\u00e9es dans la soci\u00e9t\u00e9, il arrive qu'elles commettent des crimes encore plus terribles que ceux qui les avaient conduites en prison au d\u00e9part. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5587048\" data-originallang=\"en\">Un syst\u00e8me carc\u00e9ral ou un syst\u00e8me de justice ne doit pas rendre les criminels encore plus dangereux. Lorsque c'est le cas, il faut agir. Il faut aussi tenir compte des solides donn\u00e9es qui d\u00e9montrent que, lorsqu'on ne r\u00e8gle pas les probl\u00e8mes sous-jacents \u2014 lorsqu'on n'offre pas d'aide au d\u00e9tenu pour r\u00e9gler les probl\u00e8mes de sant\u00e9 mentale ou de toxicomanie qui ont men\u00e9 \u00e0 la d\u00e9cision de le placer en isolement \u2014, les longues p\u00e9riodes d'isolement et l'isolement employ\u00e9 en tant que punition ne donnent pas des r\u00e9sultats permettant de rendre les collectivit\u00e9s plus s\u00fbres. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5587049\" data-originallang=\"en\">On peut s\u00e9vir contre la criminalit\u00e9 parce que c'est politiquement rentable, mais lorsqu'on veut se montrer intelligent, il faut plut\u00f4t t\u00e2cher de mettre un terme \u00e0 la criminalit\u00e9 ainsi qu'aux risques pour la population et les collectivit\u00e9s. Les donn\u00e9es montrent tr\u00e8s clairement qu'il faut faire mieux pour ce qui est du recours \u00e0 l'isolement. Cette pratique nuit aux d\u00e9tenus et engendre des risques pour la soci\u00e9t\u00e9. </p>"
