Hi there,

My name is Michel Deslauriers and I’m a Canadian federal correctionnal officer. As the rest of my peers, I’m not very familiar with the amercian correctional system, and some of you might also havequestions regarding our system also. I would be interested in getting to you some fellow american officers. I have never had the opportuniy of seing an american correctionnal facility, although just last week I pas in front of one in clinton County while on vacation in the New York State. I would have pretty much liked to see what it looks like. I’m available to answer questions and maybe making new friends across the border with some american collegues.

Greetings and Welcome. Irish Prison Service here.

Hello Michel, Greetings to all of my fellow officers in Canada.Please feel free to write to me anytime.I would like to learn more about the Canadian judicial system.I work as a county sheriff’s deputy in Texas and my brother works at the maximum security prison in a different state.If I can answer any questions for you about the American judicial system,please ask.I would like to know about the Canadian viewpoint on capital punishment.Thank-you.

Hello Mick, Can you tell me about the Irish viewpoint on capital punishment?Thanks.

Personally I and most of my colleagues are fully in favor of both Capital and Corporal punishment but unfortunatly the prevailing sentiment both here and in Europe is on the more liberal side of the fence and as such is not availible to us anymore.
