Is it possible he can mount a charter challange that his rights are being violated under section 12 of charter prohibiting cruel and unusual punishment especially if he could prove negligence on the part of the prison?

And if so could that allow him to get out some how?

Or they decide that given his age, and the threat against him that they'll transfer him to some minimum security prison with offenders who don't want to lose their living conditions.

I honestly would not be surprised if he was provoking these beatings to keep his name in the news and thereby keep tormenting the family. He's an unrepentant evil psycho. I hope he dies soon.

I don't know about that. Seems a little far fetched. The man is a straight out coward. Psychopaths are pussys.

No, he would get a payout and the jail would up its level of supervision but nothing gets him out.

Nathan O'Brien was five years old, and Douglas Garland killed him.

The institution that has him incarcerated will need to protect him better than they have, I suppose.

Trying to be a civilized person, one needs to contemplate punishment. This is a passage to remember and it has a lot of wisdom and in many ways reflects why we do not have capital punishment:

“Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you.” --Nietzsche

Depsite this, if on the odd chance I met one of the assailants of the second assault in a pub after their release, I'd make sure his drinks were covered.

I'm kind off surprised by this. I would have thought he would be checked in to special handling upon his arrival at Edmonton max...

I think I feel the same way. In principle, we should take steps to ensure our prisons are safe, and not chaotic and lawless places where vigilante justice steps in where the state cannot go.

In practice? It is really hard to feel bad for a monster like that.

He is a scumbag and nothing would surprise me. Another thing that is possible is he's provoking the attacks to get sent to the hospital where he thinks a chance at an escape may be possible.

I think you and Peanut are giving this piece of garbage too much credit. I doubt he is masterminding getting his ass kicked to torment the family or get to a hospital for an escape. He murdered a kid and his grandparents in a brutal fashion. Jailhouse justice is playing out whether the civilized folks on the outside agree with it or not. Jails are full of scary dudes who still have some morals. Apparently, murdering three people, chopping them up and using meat hooks during the process is deemed morally wrong by these fellow convicts. I can't say I disagree.

You may not have followed this one through. Mr. Garland is serving in a maximum security unit with similar offenders. So I bet you wouldn't cover their drinks once you found out why they were Doug's next door neighbours.

I mostly agree with you, except that I think that it's all about the boy. Murdering an innocent little boy because you're mad at his grandfather is horrible. Even hardened criminals still remember the faces of their own children, nephews and nieces. And with not much else to do, beating a guy that did something as bad as this is probably a nice way to spend sunday afternoon. Bonus is that the free public aint even mad.

I respect your professionalism, but he no longer deserves to be addressed so politely. He's not "Mr. Garland" and he's sure as FK not "Doug". He's Douglas Garland, or Garland.

It is really odd how everyone appears willing to speculate a chivilrous maximum security inmate as a do-gooder with a moral compass being the attacker since that makes it apparently easier to feel good about the jailhouse Justice.

If another kid murderer did it then what? Do we no longer like the guy or does his 'morality' carry the day?
