The Toronto Sun, Thursday, February 21st 2013, "MOM'S QUEST FOR ANSWERS: Ashley Smith went from joy to jail", page 8 "Wearing a photo of her child as a pin on her lapel, it was finally Coralee Smith's turn to speak of her beloved daughter ... ."

The Toronto Sun, Thursday, February 21st 2013, "MOM'S QUEST FOR ANSWERS: Ashley Smith went from joy to jail", page 8 A HAPPY Girl "... the proud mother painted Ashley as a happy homebody who adored quilts, the colour red, riding her bike and play- ing with her sister's kids." The Toronto Sun, Thursday, February 21st 2013, "MOM'S QUEST FOR ANSWERS: Ashley Smith went from joy to jail", page 8 Always SMILING " 'You never saw that girl without a smile on her face. Most of her life was smiling and happy,' insisted (Coralee) Smith. 'At home, Ashley was a mom's girl. It was always, 'Yes, Mom.' " The Toronto Sun, Thursday, February 21st 2013, "MOM'S QUEST FOR ANSWERS: Ashley Smith went from joy to jail", page 8  A GOOD Girl "Smiling at the memory, she recalled learning how her daughter had been secretly visiting a homeless man they knew as 'Old Joe' to deliver snacks she'd secre- ted away from their Moncton home."

The Toronto Sun, Thursday, February 21st 2013, "MOM'S QUEST FOR ANSWERS: Ashley Smith went from joy to jail", page 8 " 'She's up there getting beaten up. I was beside myself.' " Toronto Star, Thursday, February 21st 2013, "Jail changed Smith, mother says: Coralee Smith testifies Ashley was scared and complained of violence", page A8 DANGEROUS Criminal? Report of Ashley Smith's transfer to Grand Valley in 2007 shows her, A KID, being treated like A VERY DANGEROUS PRISONER. Was this treatment of a teenager WARRANTED? Really? "Wearing green track pants and a T-shirt, Smith is taken off the plane with a waist restraint and her hands and ankles cuffed. She is escorted by six guards dressed in tactical gear. She is transported on a secure truck to a segregation cell." Toronto Star, Wednesday, February 20th 2013, "ASHLEY SMITH INQUEST: Troubled teen believed guards would save her", page A3 A "Challenging" Inmate? "She was sent directly into a segregation cell once she arrived at Nova and remained there for her entire stay at the facility." Alfred Legere, warden at the Nova Institution, testifying at the Ashley Smith Inquest: "We were providing so much attention to Ashley that I didn't know what was happening with 79 other inmates," Legere testified." Toronto Star, Tuesday, February 26th 2013, "Smith saw hostage-taking: Warden testifies about prison conditions in Nova Scotia institution", page A2 Is this TRUE or pure BULLSHIT? What do you think? I doN'T like THE SMELL OF THIS. Our VICIOUS, DIRTY FASCIST Police state Gov't STINKS! BIG TIME! Yes? Being CRUEL + MEAN "Legere said ... guards at Nova were ... instructed to withdraw warmth ... ." Toronto Star, Tuesday, February 26th 2013, "Smith saw hostage-taking: Warden testifies about prison conditions in Nova Scotia institution", page A2 8 Hours STRAPPED in Restraining Chair "Guards at a Nova Scotia prison used 'extraordinary force' when they strapped Ashley Smith in a specially designed restraining chair for eight hours in 2007 ... ." " 'It's an extraordinary deprivation of her liberty. She was in that chair for eight hours strapped in like that. It's an extraordinary use of force on someone who was essentially compliant with them," Breese Davies said in an interview outside the inquest. Toronto Star, Wednesday, February, 27th 2013, "Smith spent 8 hours in chair: Inquest hears warden feared she would kill herself if not restrained", page A14 Clearly OVERKILL! "The video shows six specially trained emergency response guards in black suits and visors on their helmets entering Smith's cell on Aug. 23, 2007. When they enter, four other regular guards from the jail are already waiting in her cell wearing ha- zardous materials suits. Toronto Star, Wednesday, February, 27th 2013, "Smith spent 8 hours in chair: Inquest hears warden feared she would kill herself if not restrained", page A14 PINNED, then CUFFED! "On the video the guards in the suits already have Smith pinned face down on the floor of her cell, with her head on a pillow. Her hands are cuffed behind her back and her legs are shackled." "The emergency response guards then take Ashley and strap her into the chair." Toronto Star, Wed- nesday, February, 27th 2013, "Smith spent 8 hours in chair: Inquest hears warden feared she would kill herself if not restrained", page A14 HOME: where A KID belongs Ashley Smith's mother (who adopted her when only a few days old), Coralee, said to a reporter of P.E.I.'s the Journal Pioneer in 2012, "Ashley's biggest wish was to get home to her room, get in the Jacuzzi tub and to hold her dog." Toronto Star, Wednesday, February 20th 2013, "ASHLEY SMITH INQUEST: Troubled teen believed guards would save her", page A3 BIZARRE Situation If what the Gov't alleges that Ashley was allowed to choke herself, it's BIZARRE to say the least. One has to think that THE GOV'T IS LYING. Karen Eves, a correctional officer from another prison, "found it 'bizarre' to witness guards asking Smith to take off ligatures she'd made to choke herself. The (idea) that she's allowed to do it for a certain amount of time? That didn't make much sense to me." Toronto Star, Tuesday, February 13th 2013, "SMITH INQUEST: Outsider calls actions of jail staff 'bizarre' ", page A8 How ABSURD is this? Given that Ashley Smith wore a security gown and kept in a "tiny" (8' by 10') solitary confinement cell with nothing, but a metal bed, 23 hours a day under the watch of a video camera, Christie Blatchford writing for Postmedia News says: "Ashley Smith ... tied up as many as nine times a day ... and (she) ... routinely kept glass in her privates ... ." National Post, Tuesday, February 12 2013, "Cell guard helpless to stop death: 'Their affection and con- cern for Ashley was plain' ", page A6 A GREAT Kid "Mr. Desrochers called her a 'gentle child' ... . Because she had spent so much of her ado- lescence in youth jail - Ashley had little formal education, few social skills, few visitors and no friends. 'It just seemed that everyone had forgotten about her', he said." National Post, Friday, February 15th 2013, 'Everyone had forgotten about her', page A5 NOT Mental It turns out the Government of Canada has been LYING about Ashley Smith ALL ALONG saying she was a "mental" case. According to a June 2007 St. Thomas, ON, psychiatric report "Ashley Smith's problems were 'beha- vior not mental'." Toronto Star, Friday, February 15th 2013, "ASHLEY SMITH INQUEST: Problems 'behavioral no mental' ", page A9 HEARTLESS Prison Staff When prison staff came to escort Ashley Smith from the Saint Thomas psychiatric hospital back to the Grand Valley prison for women in 2007, Ashley said: "Oh my friend, you came back to get me" ... . (Ms.) Lombardo ... told Smith: 'I'm not your friend, but I'm here to take you back to Grand Valley'." Toronto Star, Friday, February 15th 2013, "ASHLEY SMITH INQUEST: Problems ' behavioral no mental' ", page A9 É(eh)PC Policy NO TEENAGER WILL GO TO JAIL, but could be treated as a psychiatric patient - if need be. Currently, 25% of the 55,000 inmate po- pulation are teenagers who are *NOT* in school: that's A TREMENDOUS LOSS OF PRODUCTIVITY. But it also represent A TREMENDOUS *UNNECESSARY* COST to the taxpayer according to the É(eh)PC. At a cost of $200,000 a year to keep some- one in jail, it costs (.25 x 55,000 x $200,000) $2.75 BILLION to keep teenagers in jail every year. NOT sending teenagers to jail translates into A $2.75 BILLION SAVING to the taxpayer.
