Question 33-16(6): Alcohol And Drug Treatment Programs For Correctional Facilities
Oral Questions

March 8th, 2011

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. There was a letter that was addressed to MLA David Ramsay on the 17

of February from Minister

Lafferty in terms of programming for the offenders correctional institutions. In the News/North, a judge noted the need to address the root causes of the criminal activities and also noted in the letter here that the Minister has said that 90 percent of inmates have issues related to the use of alcohol, for the abuse of alcohol and drugs. Is the Minister’s department looking at some kind of a treatment program at our correctional institutes to address the 90 percent of inmates who are there with this issue?

See context to find out what was said next.
