What is your thoughts, kill four spend one month in jail and off to a healing lodge. I have trouble with this knowing there are healing lodges on some of the Federal Institutions.

"Based on a healing and holistic approach, indigenous programs target offenders’ needs in the context of Indigenous history, culture, and spirituality, while at the same time addressing the factors related to criminal behaviour," she wrote to 650 CKOM.

I wonder if a Christian or Muslim for that matter said they needed spiritual support and healing, if they would be granted such leave??

CSC makes placement determinations based on the risk posed by an offender, their personal needs and potential for re-integration into society. Factors such as employment, marital status, substance abuse, emotional stability and attitude are also considered.

CSC Regional Communications Administrator Joan Dunajski, speaking in general terms, said indigenous inmates can be transferred to a healing lodge to provide culture-specific correctional services.

He was released from custody on December 24 and will appear in Kentville Provincial Court on February 14.

First off we are a long long way from giving life sentencing for texting and killing when a drunk kills and this is their punishment.

I don't care who you are, you get behind the steering wheel of a vehicle. You had better not have been drinking... texting etc.
If you cause injury or death as the driver then you must be held accountable, again I don't care if you are average joe/jane or the pope.
Accountable is full extent of the law... not if's buts or maybe's about it.

I honestly think it should be zero tolerance when it comes to impaired driving, with stiff penalties that very quickly escalate to a total lifetime driving ban. The idea of splitting hairs on how impaired someone is, is BS to me.

[Smurf]

Driving impaired is like taking a loaded rifle and shooting it into a crowd and claiming you weren't aiming at anyone. Everyone should be held accountable and for sure never have a license again if they kill someone, period. NO ONE should be exempt.

Not sure if you directed this to me or not. First off, the link you provide is not concluded by Court of Law as I can see. If he is guilty, you bet I agree he should be sitting in jail, cop or not. I do not give Police any free rides!

On the case I sighted, it is a joke!

No one who kills while under the influence of alcohol or drug should walk FREE. She in my mind is walking free.

She should spend no less then 2/3 of her sentence behind bars and then go heal! I do hope she gets the alcohol treatment she appears to need. She will likely go back to the reserve she came from while doing her time, where is the deterrent?

As for the healing lodge, sorry but I'm likely more knowledgeable about that then you as my brother-in-law who is native actually helps set them up in the Federal system.

IF you think I'm prejudice, your are right, I do not like people who kill and walk free it doesn't matter on race, color, or occupation!
