woman settles lawsuit over B.C. solitary confinement
Aboriginal BobbyLee Worm was segregated in solitary confinement and was treated illegally and inhumanely for 3.5 years. The lawsuit sparked attention to the unconstitutional practice of long team solitary confinement. Correctional Services of Canada said the protocol used to put Worm in confinement would be ended.
I did not know that you could be put in solitary confinement for so long. This article is related to Law 12 because it shows how controversial the system can be, treating prisoners illegally.
