Inmates at the Edmonton Remand Centre, where there are allegations that they are confined to double-bunk cells for 18-23 hours a day, is there any case law that supports the allegation that double bunk cells are overcrowded?
Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from Ogiamien v Ontario, 2016 ONSC 3080 (CanLII):
In the 2010 decision in Trang v. Alberta (Edmonton Remand Centre), Marceau J. considered an allegation that remanded inmates were confined to double-bunk cells for 18-23 hours per day. The cells provided inadequate privacy for washroom facilities, inadequate for two persons and only one table and chair. Inmates took meals in their cells and many were on units with rotating lockdowns, so that they infrequently had time outside their cells. There were other complaints.
