CO’s will ‘mingle’ with cons at ‘intimate’ prison for female Canucks
"Women don't function well in large settings. They want more intimate spaces" according to Canadian prison superintendent Margo Lee.
Intimate spaces highlight new Headingley women’s jail
Larry Kusch | Winnipeg Free Press
HEADINGLEY (Canada)– The new Women’s Correctional Centre in Headingley is different from every other jail in Manitoba in one important respect — it was built with the female offender in mind.
The $79.5-million facility, six years in the making, will begin to receive inmates in the next two weeks. It replaces a 19th-century women’s jail in Portage la Prairie that is bursting at the seams with little space to provide proper programs.

McGowan Family Fund
Robert McGowan is a former California Correctional Officer who worked at the California Institution for Men in Chino. In 2002 he and several other officers were accused of brutality by several gang members. The inmate's own descriptions of McGowan didn't match him physically. Cleared of wrongdoing by internal affairs and the District Attorney, he was railroaded by the US Attorney's Office--He is currently serving a 51 month federal prison term. A Supreme Court Appeal is his only hope now.
As we stand with Robert, we must help keep his young family while he is away.
