SOUTHERN HOSPITALITY
Victor Beausoleil’s book Southern Hospitality – Attrition in Toronto South Detention Centre is a brilliant text that exposes how one super jail is actually making crime worse. The book unpacks multiple homicides of our brothers and over 14 suicides within Toronto South in its first two years of opening in 2014. This prison is a 1 billion dollar monster. The violence occurring on our streets in Toronto are a symptom of a lack of true leadership.
In the book Mr. Beausoleil also raises the obvious systemic issues such as poverty, unemployment, absent fathers, traumatized mothers, broken homes, criminalization, and a broken system of incarceration, pseudo rehabilitation and apathetic reintegration. The Toronto South opened its doors in January 2014. Within its first two years 4 inmates died and 14 died by suicide. There were 249 inmate-on-inmate assaults and 118 assaults on staff. During lockdowns, showers and phone calls were limited and in most instances restricted. Some inmates have spent up to 60% of their year in the Toronto South Detention Centre on Lockdown (243 days).
Some inmates have experienced up to 17 days straight without leaving their cell; no shower, no phone calls, no family, no exercise – housed within a hot cell, with no reasonable air flow with a cellmate. A law firm has moved forward with a $1-Billion dollar class action lawsuit against the government of Ontario on behalf of inmates who have experienced these conditions. This book is an important read.
