The 42 recommendations made to the Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services were informed by a whole pile of information: there were submissions from inmates, the Ontario Ombudsman’s office, submissions from the public, which included various groups, such as Mothers Offering Mutual Support.

Here are some of the highlights contained within the report:

130: The number of inmates who filled out the questionnaire

43: The number of female inmates who filled out the questionnaire

87: The number of male inmates who filled out the questionnaire

Of those inmates:

53% thought the bail and remand system needed to be improved

79% had spend time in segregation

30% had requested segregation

66% thought they needed more and better health care services

Dental care, addiction support and mental health support: The primary concerns of male inmates

Access to doctors, more and better access to prescriptions and more addiction support: The primary concerns of female inmates

54% of male inmates thought the movement of prisoners to other facilities would make a “positive difference” to them

92% of female images felt movement “did not make a difference”

47% of male inmates would transfer out; 53% would not (this is if they’re given a choice)

63% of women would transfer out; 26% would not (if given a choice)

Why: Most of them who would decline to be moved said they didn’t want to be moved because of family

51% were concerned about the cleanliness of the OCDC

Over the 10 years surveyed for statistics, here are some highlights.

Current capacity is 496 inmates

440 are men

56 are women

In 2008-2009 the jail was at 107% capacity

In 2014-2015 it was at 92% capacity

In 2015-2016 it was at 100% capacity

Over the 10 years, the average number of inmates in protective custody units — which protect inmates from themselves or others — doubled from 85 to 190 daily

Inmates often have “alerts” put on their record, signalling substance abuse issues or mental health issues. While it doesn’t mean they’ve been diagnosed, they’re used administratively within the jail.

The rate with mental health alerts in 2005-2006 was 10% among men

In 2014-2015, the rate was 22% among men

Among women the rate, in that period, went from 18% to 50%

Substance abuse alerts between 2005-2006 and 2014-2015 went from 57% to 62% for women. For men, the rates went from 25% to 40%

Complaints about the jail go to the Ontario Ombudsman.

392: The number of complaints about OCDC in 2015-2016

Third: The rank of OCDC in total number of complaints

Medication and quality of medical care: The No. 1 complaint in all jails in Ontario

Medication, quality of care and delays in getting health care: The top three complaints at the OCDC
