Liberties Association: Segregation Days and b.c .,

liberties association: The contested allegations are the latest in a protracted battle between the maximum-security inmate, who has spent a total of more than 12 years in segregation during stints at numerous institutions around the country, and prison authorities, who appear to be at a loss about how to deal with him, according to The Waterloo Record. The Canadian Civil Liberties Association wrote Bobbi Sandhu, the warden of Kent Institution in Agassiz, B.C., to express its concerns about Nome's most recent prolonged stretch in segregation 130 days and his abhorrent treatment by prison staff. Timothy Nome, 42, who is serving an indeterminate sentence for punching a guard years ago, also claims correctional officers at the prison in British Columbia deliberately poured pig lard onto his kosher food and that authorities are denying him access to the courts. In the December letter, obtained by The Canadian Press, the association calls on Sandhu to investigate Nome's claim that he has been unable to take several grievances to court because authorities wouldn't allow him paper, a printer, or access to the prison law library. The association said it had not had any response to its letter. These are matters of utmost importance, the CCLA letter states. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
