Quick Glance: Prison Officials Halt Paul Bernardo's Public Statement
- Canadian prison officials prevented Paul Bernardo, a serial rapist and murderer, from making a public statement through his lawyer to the media amid controversy over his transfer to a medium-security prison.
- Bernardo was moved from the maximum-security Millhaven Institution near Kingston, Ont., to the medium-security La Macaza Institution about 190 km northwest of Montreal in late May.
- A review by the correctional service found that while it could have been more sensitive in notifying his victims, the decision to reclassify Bernardo was ultimately sound.
- A spokesman for the correctional service said that it does not tell offenders not to speak to the media, but follows a general process for considering interview requests to ensure it does not jeopardize an offender’s correctional plan or glorify their crimes.
