I don't know about Alberta but here in Ontario the government needs to build more prisons and hire more officers if they are going to continue taking the hard on crime stance. They keep slashing the budgets for police services and corrections and are closing some correctional facilities but are demanding judges hand out tougher sentences and giving more jail time and it just not working. Look at Elgin Middlesex Detention Centre in London, they are cramming 4 people in a one person cell there and the prisoners are damaging the property and rioting because of the conditions.
