Copy and paste the above address onto your facebook search bar. Join my group. It’s called Stop the violence at Roy McMurtry “superjail”. A facility so pretty on the outside yet cold violent and inhumane on the inside. These kids broke the law, they still deserve to be treated as human beings. For all that the man Roy McMurtry stands for, this facility has destroyed his name. Freedom of rights? Is denying young offenders medical treatment and watching them be abused regularly freedom of rights? I THINK NOT!!!!

i wonder how well this bulding will weather? also how do the guards supervise the kids with such a large area and so many different rooms? how safe is this building? also with canadian weather how well does it work in the cold and snow?

I agree although this facility looks beautiful, I cannot see how a design like this meets the functional needs of a JAIL. I can imagine the staff of this facility struggling to keep a handle on high risk violent offenders with so many nooks and cranny’s to hide around. More thought should have been put into the practical needs of a jail rather than estetics.

Like Kahn. Hope it carries some special feeling. Kids aren’t colorful and vibrant and energetic; but we hope they are. Also we hope they have some faith and seriousness and wisdom in the future.

Does serious also mean colourless? I thought youth were vibrant, energetic and spontaneous…

Ans that is a good thing. Youth doesn’t need some youth-elements. They need to be taken serious.
