Ontario ombudsman Paul Dubé identified several key issues in Ontario’s broken system of tracking segregation. Here are the highlights:

• Ontario policy doesn’t clearly define “segregation,” but describes it as an “area” where inmates are placed, rather than the conditions of their confinement

• The definitions of what is considered “continuous” and “segregation” vary among jails, resulting in inaccurate tracking of the placements of inmates who are transferred between institutions

• Correctional staff struggle with a confusing, duplicative system of data entry, meaning inmate files often contain errors that aren’t caught

• Many of those in segregation have mental health issues and developmental disabilities, but corrections officials don’t have more appropriate options for housing them

• Inaccurate data results in inmates being lost in the system, deprived of the oversight to which they are entitled, because their placements aren’t reviewed as required

• Reviews that are done at the ministry level are often superficial
