Week before Ashley Smith died she wanted to kill herself, inquest hears
Copy shots of Ashley Smith photographed at the law offices of Falconer Charney LLP in Toronto, Ont. March 2, 2009. As Ashley Smith slowly choked herself to death at dawn in her Kitchener, Ont., prison cell at the Grand Valley Institution for Women, seven guards looked on because they were instructed not to intervene if the troubled federal inmate was still breathing. Court transcripts about Ms. Smith's 2007 death, obtained by The Globe and Mail, show that prison managers were trying to curtail the reviews and paperwork triggered each time guards entered her cell to stop her frequent attempts at self-asphyxiation. A manager testified she was pressured to reclassify incident reports so that they wouldn't be filed as "use-of-force" interventions, which require more red tape. In addition, the prison ignored a grievance she had filed, seeking to end her segregation. The complaint wasn't opened until after her death. Her story, a tale of death and red tape run amok, will get more attention today with the release of Correctional Investigator Howard Sapers's report on her case. Ms. Smith was a Moncton teen convicted of minor crimes - public disturbance, throwing apples at a postal worker, stealing a CD - who spent most of her last four years in maximum security segregation because of her unruly jailhouse behaviour. Details of the case were confidential until now because four correctional employees were charged with criminal negligence. However, charges were dropped last December. The Crown said it determined that the guards couldn't have saved Ms. Smith in time. Correctional officials have said they will not comment on the case because a coroner's inquest still has to be held.
