Paul Bernardo prison transfer review underway, should be completed ‘within a few weeks’
“We know that continued public attention of this case is very difficult for them and we regret any pain or concern this transfer has caused,” the CSC said.
The families of Bernardo’s victims didn’t learn that he was being transferred to a different prison until the day it happened. The CSC said the decision to move Bernardo was due to a “reassessment of his security classification.”“A change to the security classification of offenders is based on the assessment of their risk related to institutional adjustment, escape risk, and risk to public safety, based on a consistent set of factors set out in law and policy.
