    This is a strange one...

    LeBon, 48, who hails from Boisbriand, Que., is being held at a low-security prison in Loretto, Penn.

    He was stopped by an Illinois state trooper in August 2007 for a traffic violation and found to have 119 kilograms of cocaine in his vehicle. He pleaded guilty to possession with intent to distribute and sentenced in July 2008 to 10 years in prison.

    LeBon subsequently applied for a transfer under the International Transfer of Offenders Act, which was adopted, in the Canadian government?s own words, to help with the ?rehabilitation of offenders? and their eventual ?reintegration into the community? and to ?alleviate undue hardships borne by offenders and their families.?


    I wish this judge would have ordered Marc Emery home instead of this loser.

    That prompted Martineau?s ruling in December, in which he concluded that the minister appeared to ?simply wanted to punish? LeBon.

    ?This illustrates an intransigency which is symptomatic of a closed mind and leads to the conclusion that a reasonable apprehension of bias existed on the part of the minister,? Martineau said.


    I'll have to give a R=UP for publicly recognizing what Vic The Dick is though.

    At least if he spends his time in an American prison, we aren't footing the bill.

    Yeah, except we get him back after he does hard time in a US con-college.

    They placed him in a low/minimum security institution. It's not as if he's doing "hard time" with serious criminals.

    Oh well. We should just take his market away, and be done with the problem.

    Federal Correctional Institute Loretto is 'low security' but anymore that means what passed for high security 30 years ago.

    It sports gun towers, electric fences, and dog runs just the same as any other prison. Meaning it ain't no country club.

    I'd be disappointed if a prison didn't have a secure perimeter.

    He should do his time in the US. Too bad Toews is such a mouth-breeather than he can't even put together a decent defence as to why someone apparently assocaited with organized crime and large amounts of cocaine should cool his heels where he is.

    Yep. It's a health problem, not a criminal one.

    How are we supposed to prosecute those who profit off the misery of others (producers, dealers, etc) if you legalize it?

    You make it unprofitable for them to do that. Look at In-Site, and the success they've had. Heroin is effectively legal, but people still have to acquire it illegally. Isn't that nuts? They can go use under the supervision of health care professionals who guide them toward treatment, and it's a huge success. Usage and crime are down. Dumb on crime is thinking that using the criminal justice system to deter people from their habits will succeed at anything other than creating opportunity and prosperity for those who profit off the misery of others.

    Do you want the government to produce it too?
