Release Period: Detainees and Ont .,

release period: The group wants Goodale to limit detentions to 90 days and to stop putting immigration detainees in maximum security prisons. "My understanding from people on the inside that I have talked to is that a number of the longer-term detainees are determined to stay on the strike until they get the meeting with Ralph Goodale," Scott said. "Right now, it a ripe time for us to be pushing for Canada to obey international law and put in a release period." Scott said the detainees want the government to ensure if detainees are not deported to their country of origin within 90 days, then they are released from detention, according to CBC. The detainees currently refusing food are being held at the Central East Correctional Centre in Lindsay, Ont., and the Toronto East Detention Centre in Scarborough.
