The Canadian Association of the Société Elizabeth Fry launched a petition to the House of Commons to denounce the recourse to solitary confinement.

Bill C-10 is at the committee stage before moving to the third and final reading in the House of Commons. It is therefore URGENT to take action and make our views known.

The Canadian Association of Elizabeth Fry Societies (CAEFS) has been forced to take the government to court in order to obtain the files that Ashley Smith asked them to access on her behalf.

CAEFS and NWAC are asking the Minister of Public Safety to reconsider the ban on tobacco in federal penitentiaries.

CAEFS is concerned about the government's legal reform plans and the risk of interference with parole accessibility.

CAEFS is committed to opposing mandatory minimum sentences, the reduction of conditional sentences, and any interference with parole opportunities.
