Amended pursuant to Rule 6-1(1)(a) Vancouver

Sections 97 of the CCRA authorizes the Commissioner to make rules for (a) the management of the Service (b) for the matters described in section 4 [Principles that guide Service] and (c) generally for carrying out the purposes and provisions of Part I of the CCRA and the Regulations. [...] Section 4 of the CCRR imposes duties on an institution head, under the direction of the Commissioner, for among other things the care, custody and control of all inmates in the penitentiary and the management, organization and security of the penitentiary. [...] The harsh and punitive effects of prolonged and indefinite use of restrictive movement routines and lockdowns are such that many of the rehabilitative functions of incarceration, expected to be fulfilled at the time of an inmate’s sentencing, are frustrated by the confinement. [...] The gravity of the infringements on the Charter rights of individuals subjected to prolonged and indefinite use of restrictive movement routines and lockdowns are grossly disproportionate to the benefit and legislative purpose of the impugned laws.
