Alberta Prisons

There are many that believe California's Prison Rehabilitation System and other systems around the world have more sinister purpose outside of incarceration. Discuss prison topics here in California, throughout the United States and Internationally.

Alberta Prisons

Unread post by whiskeyjack » April 11th, 2008, 7:02 am

I have a friend going to jail in alberta for second degree murder, hopefully he will be out in 15 yrs.

Does anyone know the situation of Alberta Prisons? What should he expect, how bad are the racial politics in prison in alberta? If it helps my buddy is white but looks mexican. Jim crow never got to canada :lol:

But seriously what are the major prison gangs in alberta?

Thank

I would imagine HA and any of the Asian gangs. Possibly some white power type gangs too. I wouldn't be surprised if they even had some native gangs, but those are usually pretty low level. I had a co-worker who did some years in a Fed prison and this guy is no slouch. 6' 4" 300+ and even he said he got the shit kicked out of him on occasion. I had another co-worker who did minimal time at the Remand in Edmonton and for the little amount of time he was there he didn't care for it either. Prison is prison, it's not a vacation.
