Ontario man held in psychiatric seclusion for 20 years wins court order for new assessment

Ontario’s top court on Friday ordered an independent psychiatric assessment of a 43-year-old man who has spent half his life detained in isolated seclusion at a mental health care centre north of Toronto.

Camelot Hamblett, detained at the Waypoint Centre since 2004, lives in what is called the High Secure Forensic Program. He is rarely allowed to exit his room.
