Health Status: Kyon Ferril and Form

health status: I have not received any training on the completion of the form, according to Hamilton Spectator. This assessment is cursory in nature and should not be construed as an accurate representation of the subject's risk or mental health status. I am not a medical or mental health professional, one Canada Border Services Agency officer wrote on a risk assessment form in 2015. The form the officer admitted he or she was untrained and ill-equipped to complete had real consequences for Kyon Ferril, the immigration detainee in question, as it meant he would continue to serve his indefinite detention in a maximum-security jail rather than a less-restrictive facility. The form determines in what kind of facility a detainee will be placed by classifying them as high, medium or low risk. The Toronto Star's review of documents related to other detainees found erratic use of the form known as a National Risk Assessment for Detention, or NRAD. It is to be filled out when an immigration detainee is first incarcerated and, according to policy, should be reassessed every 60 days. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
