WHY ARE THERE SO MANY PENITENTIARIES IN KINGSTON? The province of Ontario has long been the most densely populated region of Canada. As a result, more prisons were built to accommodate higher crime rates. The expertise required to operate prisons and the inmate labour force required to build them was already here.
Today, inmates can expect between $5.25 and $6.90 per day, with most earning at the low end of the scale. But deductions can reach as much as 30 per cent for “food and accommodation” and phone fees, on top of other deductions for outstanding fines.
