Calgary’s Remand Centre is a perilous melting pot of a jail. A way station for suspects awaiting trial, suspended parolees and immigration detainees, it is where refugees bunk with rapists, drunk drivers with drug dealers. In this strained jurisdiction, three or four inmates live 22 hours a day in cells built for two, some sleeping on the floor–a “nasty, dangerous place,” as one lawyer puts it.
