Neil Libby's own position was clear. He did not discount the need for just punishment, but he insisted that it should be humane and purposive. He had a passionate dislike of the prison system. He saw it as degrading and dehumanizing, an utterly inefficient agency for reducing criminality. Indeed, he viewed it as a breeding ground for increased criminality.

***
APRIL 11, 2012:
TODAY THE AWARD WINNING, INTERNATIONALLY RENOWNED SERVICE KNOWN AS LIFELINE, PROVIDING IN-REACH PROGRAMMING TO LIFE SENTENCED PRISONERS, WAS CUT BY GOVERNMENT. For more than 20 years, life sentenced men and women who have proven their ability to reintegrate successfully have offered support, friendship and counselling to men and women serving long term and life sentences. They have offered hope that there can be “life after Life”.
This is a huge loss to effective corrections, and the cuts will affect many hard working and dedicated staff who have committed their time to helping some of the most vulnerable people within Canada’s federal institutions. SLSC will continue to bring updates on how we can continue to serve those in need and how we might move forward with the spirit of LifeLine.
