Health For All is asking people to sign a petition in support of 180 immigrant detainees recently moved to Central East Correctional Centre in Lindsay. The detainees are calling for better access to medical care and social workers, an end to constant lockdowns, better access to legal aid and legal services, etc. Some are long term detainees in jail for over 7 years because Canada has no limit on how long a person can be held before deportation.
