Following the last update in this Quarterly,1 the European Union (EU) has been quite active in agreeing new measures relating to cross-border policing and criminal law. First of all, the Tampere European Council meeting in October 1999 agreed a list of measures to be adopted to develop the EU's 'Area of Freedom, Security and Justice', particularly as regards criminal procedure. Here the European Council requested the Council to agree a work programme on mutual recognition in criminal matters within a year, and to establish an EU organisation facilitating cross-border prosecutions (Eurojust) within 2 years. Following agreement in the meantime on a Convention on Mutual Assistance in Criminal Matters after 5 years' negotiations,2 the work programme was duly adopted in November 2000, setting out a list of twenty-four measures which the Council should agree in the medium-term to facilitate cross-border investigations, prosecutions, and enforcement of judgments.3 Several Member States then began to implement this plan, tabling two versions of a proposed Decision to set up Eurojust and also making proposals for 'Framework Decisions' to harmonise national laws as regards enforcement of other Member States' orders to freeze assets and evidence and enforcement of judgments imposing financial penalties.4

Offenders with mental illnesses do not fair well in Canadian penitentiaries, and if they have an acute or chronic mental illness it is often exacerbated by placement in segregation or separate confinement. Despite calls from the Correctional Investigator and Coroner's inquests, the Correctional Service of Canada remains non compliant and non transparent in its treatment of Aboriginal female offenders with mental health disorders. Specifically in the case of Ashley Smith, the coroner, Dr. John Carlisle ruled that Smith's 2007 death was a homicide at the hands of the Canadian government and its agent, the Correctional Service of Canada. In order to address the poor treatment of Aboriginal female offenders with mental disorders, this paper proposes the removal of Aboriginal female offenders with substantive mental disorders from the Correctional Service of Canada and placement in trauma informed care programs in the community.
