Mr. Maloney's recommen-' dation was in a report released Thursday by Correctional Services Mmnister Frank Drea, covering 28 provinical deten- tion and training centres. The report says the minis- try bas been severely hamper- e4 ijn,,4etaining and rehabili- tating pri-soners because of anîiquated faciiities and over-' crowding. The Whitbv lai! was buit 2-0 years ago, and althoughfl ot antiquated it lias not kept up with the populion increase in the D)urham Region.' According to Philip Pal- terson, director of correction and psychiatric serices for the omobudsman, the report contains-"no stîong! criticism"* of the Whurby lai!. Mr.-Paiter-son reports there was aàtffmnge con- flici ai the jail identif-oed ini laie 1976. but writh the hiring of eight more employVes (now loi, the Staffimg Prob- kum las been solved. At the presenit tim there are 93 maie and five femnale prisoners at the Wbitby jail which lias a capacity for only 58 men and six womnen. laul Superintendent Frank Ciii feels the overcirowding 'is toierable" provided the înmate population does not increase. If there is a popula- tion increase there would be severe overcrowding. he said. According to Ir-Mil. ithe original single ceils have been modified îohouse two people, and the corridorsý and haiiways provide more room. The ove rcrowd ing problemn is somnewaht relieved- by 15 prisoners beîng ai the jaii1's baif-way house in Oshawa. he said . Wi. CGui feels ihere is "no securiîy probkem" ai the jail with a fuli-timne correctionai staff of 40 and a sinilaî num- be of casual staff.
