Should Canada Build More Prisons? The 'Jail Not Bail' Debate Continues
from Canada Off Script · host Randall Arsenault - Canada Off Script
Is building more prisons really such a bad thing? In this thought-provoking conversation, Randall Arsenault, a former police officer known as Officer Arsenault, sits down with former Fire Chief Dave Connor to talk about bail reform, repeat offenders, and the state of Canada’s justice system. From the controversial Bill C-75 to overcrowded prisons and repeat offenders granted bail time and time again, they ask the tough question: Do we need more prisons - or just better ones?Randall shares firsthand experience from the front lines of policing, explaining how changes in bail laws have allowed more offenders back on the streets - often with tragic results. Together, they unpack what “public safety” really means, and whether building more prisons is part of the solution or just another political talking point. Randall and Dave also discuss impaired operation and how expensive the court process can be. Prison reform, education reform, mental-health reform, justice reform, there's too much to tackle in one video, so please subscribe to our YouTube channel as we tackle popular and delicate issues which affect us all.
