🇨🇦 Saskatchewan prisoner awarded $65,000 for assault by guard

A federal inmate who refused a lawful cell search got slammed into a door frame by a correctional officer, walked away with a cut eyebrow and swollen face, and just collected $65,000 from Canadian taxpayers. The government admitted the force was excessive but offered only $5,000 to $15,000. A federal judge disagreed and tacked on $15,000 extra for Charter violation. Meanwhile the same lawyer wouldn't confirm whether his client is still locked up, and Regina Police issued a wanted notice last month for a man with the same name.

This is the justice system liberals built: guards can't restrain non-compliant inmates without risking six-figure payouts, criminals collect windfalls for getting roughed up during their own defiance, and the taxpayer foots the bill while the streets stay dangerous. Prison isn't supposed to be comfortable. It's supposed to keep bad people away from the rest of us.
