Since August of 1996 a number of federally sentenced women classified as maximum security have been serving time in male penitentiaries in Canada.

The decision to house women in segregated maximum security units in men's penitentiaries violates the 1996 Arbour Commission Report, which examined the treatment of female offenders at the Prison for Women, and the spirit of Creating Choices, the 1990 Task Force Report on Federally Sentenced Women. This report called for the closing of the Prison for Women and the transfer of all of the women to more humane facilities across Canada where they would be closer to their families, cultures and communities.

In 1996, not long after the transfer of a number of women from the Prison for Women to the "enhanced units" of the new Edmonton Institute for Women, several escape attempts and other incidents took place. The incidents formed a patterned response to a building structure that had not yet been completed, a lack of preparation for the troubled women, including inadequately trained staff, inappropriate mental health services, and inconsistencies in policies and practices. As a result, women classified as maximum security or "high risk" were transferred from the Edmonton Institute to male institutions until additional security measures could be put in place at all the new regional facilities. They were told their imprisonment in men's prisons would last 18-24 months.

In 1997, in Ontario, the women being moved to the segregated maximum security unit at the male penitentiary in Kingston, and the Canadian Association of Elizabeth Fry Societies (CAEFS) were successful, through legal means, to stop the process. Many of the women were survivors of physical and sexual abuse by men and Kingston Penitentiary is the most notorious prison in Canada for men convicted of violent sex offenses. Within 24 hours of the dismissal of the Correctional Service appeal, CSC abandoned their decision to move women to Kingston Penitentiary and decided instead to keep the Prison for Women open temporarily to accommodate about 30 women classified as "maximum security".

During the court case about half of the women were re-classified as medium security, indicating, perhaps, that they had been over-classified initially. Some women are classified as "maximum security" not because they pose a threat to society but because of mental health problems and their tendency to suicide or self-injury. — a typical response to sexual abuse in childhood. Many of the women still classified as "maximum security" remained in the Special Needs and Segregated units at the Prison for Women.

In 1996 and 1997 further "enhanced" security measures were put in place at all the regional facilities. Now, approximately four years later instead of seeing all federally sentenced women incorporated into the regional facilities, CSC is still working on the further fortification of these prisons. In September 1999 CSC announced their new "Intensive Intervention Strategy" for women classified as "high risk". This strategy would allow for the creation of "secure units" and "structured living environment houses" at the regional prisons to accommodate women who have mental health needs and require more intensive support. The projected completion date is September 2001.

In the 2000 annual report of the Correctional Investigator it was pointed out that "the "temporary placement" of female offenders in male penitentiaries, which began in August 1996, has gone on far too long". Inmates told the Investigator they are being "warehoused", with little to do but eat and sleep. Those in segregation are locked in for up to 23 hours a day with little access to programs that would help them become less of a security risk. The Investigator stated that such placement is discriminatory and segregates the women from the broader general population of female offenders housed at the women's regional facilities. The Correctional Investigator also pointed out that the number of female offenders housed in male penitentiaries had increased and that there are now "nearly as many aboriginal women incarcerated in male penitentiaries as there are at the women's Aboriginal Healing Lodge." The Correctional Investigator will meet with the Deputy Commissioner for Women to initiate a review of these issues.

The Prison for Women finally closed its doors in July 2000. It is now time to achieve the second goal of Creating Choices — the transfer of all federally sentenced women to the more progressive prisons for women across Canada. The Elizabeth Fry Societies will continue to advocate for, and support others that advocate for, the remaining women to be moved into the regional facilities as quickly as possible.

If you would like to express your views on this situation you may write to the following: Ms. Nancy Stableforth, Deputy Commissioner for Women, Sir Wilfred Laurier Building, 340 Laurier Avenue W., Ottawa K1A 0P9; or The Honourable Lawrence MacAulay, Solicitor General of Canada, House of Commons, Wellington Street, Ottawa; or write to your local Member of Parliament.

In the last issue of "Out for Change" we introduced our readers to our Community Programs team. In this issue we will introduce our Residential team. This team provides women staying in our residence with counselling and support services and helps them obtain housing, education and employment. All women staying in the Elizabeth Fry halfway house have been released on parole from federal and provincial prisons in Ontario. The Residential team also visits the Vanier Centre for Women and Grand Valley Institute to provide information and release planning to women interested in completing their sentence in the Elizabeth Fry residence. Many women find that staying in the residence is a more appealing and effective way to re-integrate into the community as well as maintain ties to family and community.

Andrea Slack
Andrea is the Assistant Supervisor of the residence. She initially obtained employment with E. Fry as a residential relief worker to help pay her way through school while studying sociology, international justice and human rights. Later she obtained a Masters degree in Social Work at the University of Toronto. After working as relief in the residence she joined the Community Programs Team. Part of her work on this team and in her present position, involves visiting the Vanier Centre for Women to counsel and provide release planning to women serving provincial sentences of less than two years.

Maryam Salad
Maryam joined the agency in 1997 as a relief worker in the residence and in 1998 became a full time residential counsellor working the overnight shift. She has also worked in battered women's shelters and shelters for the homeless. After studying sociology at Ryerson she attended George Brown College and is a recent graduate of the Assaulted Women and Children Advocate program. Maryam worked as a lab technician before venturing into social service work.

Dorrette Barnes
After doing secretarial work at the YWCA, Dorrette entered the Community Worker program at George Brown College. During her time in school she worked at the Scarborough Women's Centre and then did a one year placement at the Cooperated- Housing Federation of Toronto. Her involvement with E. Fry started in 1999 as a relief worker and she now works full time in the E. Fry residence. Dorrette is also considering relief work at the Emily Stowe Shelter for abused women.

Julianne Smith
Julianne started her work life with the Boys and Girls Club in Ottawa. After obtaining a BA in Criminology she went on to the Correctional Worker Program and then for four years worked with young offenders in group homes and open custody facilities. Julianne started employment with E. Fry in 1999 in a ¾ position in our residence and then moved on to a full time position in January 2000. Julianne taught dance and art before turning to community service work.

Lyne Genereaux
Lyne was an E. Fry volunteer before joining the Residential team as relief worker and later became a full time residential counsellor. Previous to her work with E. Fry she volunteered for two years at the Elizabeth Fry Society in Nova Scotia as well as doing short term contract work in a provincial prison. After co-facilitating the E. Fry Toronto parenting program at the Toronto West Detention Centre, Lyne entered the Community Worker Program at George Brown College and graduated in 2000. Lyne is also a member of the Board of Directors at two other Toronto social service organizations.

Margaret Arnason
Margaret joined the Residential team in 1999 after previous employment with a Court Support Program, Red Door Shelter for abused women, and Woodgreen Youth Employment. After graduating from York University in sociology she went on to study criminology and racial relations and is now a social work student at Ryerson. Margaret also spends one afternoon per week co-facilitating one of the agency's Drug and Alcohol counselling groups and does relief work at the Harm Reduction Program at the Metro Shelter-Women's Residence.

Nzinga Walker
Before joining the Residential Team as Supervisor of the E. Fry Residence Program, Nzinga was a co-facilitator with the E. Fry Parenting program. Previous to her work with E. Fry she was a counsellor at Woodgreen Employment Services for Youth and a family counsellor with the Jane-Finch Concerned Citizens Organization. Nzinga has a degree in Social Economic Development and is a graduate of the George Brown Community Worker Program. Nzinga's work includes supervision of the Residential team, residential client counselling, liaison between prison officials and parole officers, and ongoing program development.

Hello all, I would like to take this time to introduce myself and to welcome you to the International Year of Volunteers!

In recognition of the enormous social and economic contributions of volunteers worldwide, the United Nations General Assembly has declared the year 2001 International Year of Volunteers (IYV 2001). Volunteers contribute an estimated $16 billion annually, or 8 per cent of Canada's gross domestic product and contribute 1.1 billion hours of their time yearly, the equivalent of 578,000 full-time jobs, it is clear that we need to celebrate their enormous contributions on a global scale. According to our Volunteer Program Statistics from 1999-2000, our volunteers provided approximately 5147.75 volunteer hours to approximately 2,442 women. These are incredibly impressive numbers when you consider that 131 volunteers delivered that service.

Beginning December 5, 2000, Volunteer Canada launched a social marketing campaign using the key phase I Volunteer. I have been thinking about the campaign slogan, the value of one is the power of many and I realized that we could use this slogan to generate discussions among volunteers to think about why they volunteer. I would like to take this opportunity to highlight some of their responses.

Liz Meek who has been with us for 4 years states that she volunteers because it gives her a feeling of enjoyment to know that she can brighten the lives of women who are living in unbelievable circumstances. Nadine Vassell one of our new volunteers stated that because the vast majority of crimes committed by women are crimes of poverty, volunteering is an excellent way to make the criminal justice system seem less harsh and brutal. Lucille Dobbins who has been volunteering for more than 14 years stated that she volunteers because it was something that was common place where she was growing up. She continues to volunteer because the need is so great, and working with women who come in conflict with the law is not always popular. Chris Holdham a volunteer with more than 4 years' experience says that volunteering gives her an insight into how our penal system operates. She enjoys giving her time to women who need our support. Jacquie Benjamin a volunteer with over 2 years experience stated that her reason for volunteering is to give back to the community.

All of these responses demonstrate the volunteer's need to become an active member of the community. The Elizabeth Fry volunteers have a strong belief in the work that we do and continue to give their time and ongoing support to help women in conflict with the law create better lives for themselves and their families. National Volunteer Appreciation Week begins on April 22-28 2001 and along with the IYV campaign, it is incumbent upon us to publicly acknowledge and celebrate our volunteers as a large and powerful force for good.

Happy IYV everyone!!
