On May 7th, 2020, legal counsel to the Criminalization and Punishment Education Project(CPEP) wrote to the Ottawa-Carleton Detention Centre(OCDC) requesting the jail accommodate Muslim prisoners on an urgent basis after the OCDC repeatedly failed to distribute medication to fasting Muslim prisoners during their non-fasting hours.
OCDC still has not issued a direct or substantitive response to this legal letter which is endorsed by 60 civil society organizations and supported by the Ontario Human Rights Commission.
