American prison authorities, both federal and state, have for years violated the International Transfer of Offenders Treaty rights, including the letter of the treaty, through discrimination denials, injustices, lack of medical treatment, and so forth. Our men and women imprisoned are suffering so much so that even their family and friends are feeling the atrocities caused by these prison administrators.
We, the Undersigned, draw the attention of the House to the following:
That Congress of the United States enacted two Public Laws 104-208, Prisoner Transfer Treaty, Division C, Title III, Section 330, 110 Statutes at 3009, and the Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996. These subsequent United States Public Laws have caused the existing Transfer of Offenders Treaty Act between Canada and the United States null and void.
We, pray on behalf of all Canadian (and other foreign) citizens imprisoned in the United States seek to renegotiate the Transfer of Offenders Treaty with the United states, wherein, prisoner consent be eliminated, and that all Canadians so imprisoned within American prisons be transferred to Canada now or in the future and transferred to Canada regardless of conviction or sentence imposed.
