In a ten year period from 2001-2002 to 2010-2011, 530 offenders died in federal custody from a range of known causes, including natural death, suicide, accident and homicide. During this period, suicides accounted for 17.4% (or 92 deaths) of all federal offender deaths. Another 5.5% (or 29 deaths) were homicides. The suicide rate is approximately 70 per 100,000 for federally incarcerated offenders, which is 6 times higher than Canada's 2009 rate of 11.5 suicides per 100,000 people. The homicide rate for incarcerated federal offenders was approximately 22 per 100,000, compared to the national homicide rate of 1.6 per 100,000 in 2007.

How is Ontario child protection like the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster? Every time you turn around it's gotten worse and everyone trying to cover up just how bad it is...
THE PDRC PROCESS: "CAS INTERNAL DEATH REVIEW," REVIEWED?
The CAS that provided service to the family submits a serious occurrence report and within 14 days of the death submits a Child Fatality Case Summary Report to the PDRC. The Executive Committee of the PDRC screens these reports and, within 7 days, a decision is made whether the CAS will be required to complete an - Internal Review - for the purposes of a future PDRC review.
By the end of the reports and the PDRC process all relevant data about the deaths of children in care has been reduced to a pile of quantitative data and a bunch of pretty pie charts.
Quantitative Data Definition: Data that can be quantified and verified, and is amenable to statistical manipulation.
Do good intentions trump the lives of children suffering in Ontario's child protection system?
