Jailing of sexual assault victim prompts Alberta investigations
Alberta Justice Minister Kathleen Ganley orders two reviews after a 28-year-old Indigenous homeless woman was shackled and jailed during a 2015 pretrial hearing for Lance Blanchard. She traveled in the same prison van as her attacker on at least two occasions. A judge criticized the treatment, calling it appalling, and Ganley says policies and people failed. A separate panel will propose policy changes while a Manitoba lawyer investigates.
