Canada's Prison Librarian Cuts: A Human Rights Concern
Correctional Service Canada plans to eliminate librarian positions in federal prisons, aiming to save $2.4 million by 2029. This move, part of wider budget cuts, is criticized for violating human rights and undermining prisoner rehabilitation. Advocates argue librarians provide essential safe spaces, education, and legal resources. An open letter with over 2,000 signatures urges the public safety minister to reverse the decision, set to begin April 1st.
