Public Safety Minister Steven Blaney and General Michael Ferguson

General Michael Ferguson: The federal prison population could one day outgrow the required capacity, even as new prisons are built, Auditor General Michael Ferguson warned in his report. This means that double-bunking -- putting two prisoners in a cell -- could become a problem in the future, he said, according to CTV. We dont feel that prisoners are entitled to their own cell, Blaney said. We feel double-bunking is part of normal management practices. This being said, we have most of the inmates in private cells and The opposition had a wide range of criticisms for the federal government Tuesday after the release of auditor generals latest report, including concerns about double-bunking in the federal prison system. Asked about this by reporters Tuesday afternoon, Public Safety Minister Steven Blaney said double-bunking is a normal practice in all Western countries. He added that the Correctional Service of Canada has failed to find a link between double-bunking and increased violence in prisons. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
