Aging and dying in prison an investigation into the experiences of older individuals in federal custody.: PS104-17/2019E-PDF
"Prisons were never intended to be nursing homes, hospices, or long-term care facilities. Yet increasingly in Canada, they are being required to fulfill those functions. The proportion of older individuals in federal custody (those 50 years of age and older) is growing. They now account for 25% of the federal prison population (3,534 individuals 50+, 3,432 men and 102 women of a total prison population of 14,004)"--Introduction, page 3.
