In this seminar, drawing upon her empirical work with incarcerated people, as well as on the relevant s. 7 jurisprudence and scholarship, Dr. Adelina Iftene explores the ways in which s. 7 of the Charter may be used as a litigation tool in challenging prison conditions of confinement. The presentation covers some social science evidence documenting the inadequacies of conditions and treatment in federal and provincial prisons, their impact on incarcerated people, the potential sources of a s. 7 breach in this context, and how various principles of fundamental justice may be engaged. Some s. 1 issues are also covered in the presentation. The presentation is example-heavy, with focus especially on inadequate prison health care.
