yzz, I don't know what situation you're talking about, but I would think that it shouldn't matter whether it can be proven, no-one should be allowed to do it. Who would admit they visit this site if people are being discriminatory towards their loved one? I wouldn't, well I might because that's just how I get down, but someone who isn't as bullheaded as me probably wouldn't.

I agree. I am also a Canadian and the name Paul Bernardo makes me sick as well as Robert Picton..(jeffrey Dawmer etc) Paul Bernardo preyed on young girls, he stole their innocence and he violated them in ways none of us could possibly imagine.. if we could- chances are we would not be here, and he took their life, in doing so, he took the life of all of those who knew and loved his victims. Robert Pickton preyed on women were lost and who never found there way in life..He tortured them, raped them and then fed their remains to his pigs... (not to mention gave the pork to his neigbours which is something they will never get over - could you?) How can any one find it in their heart to have compassion for these people. Tell it to the victims families,, better yet tell it to Kristine French, Leslie Mahaffie's parents.. ok.
We all suffer hardships in life, we all have problems... but we all dont kill innocent children and women.
Their last thought was one of fear...and it is not supposed to be like that.. Fear of the natural is normal, fear of a monster is not.
These girls died alone with no one there who loved them..All they wanted was to go home and Paul and Robert took that right away from them. They took away another human beings right to life. Would you feel the same way if it was your mother, daughter or sister perhaps?
I hope that one day the victims families can forgive those who harmed them and their family,, so that they can one day move on..
Call it judgement if you like,,, I call it reality... These monsters are where they belong and should stay until they die. They have proven that they can not be a part of society and that they are a danger to the public. They are getting what they deserve. For those of you who choose to show compassion for these monsters...good for you if you are able to do so.. but for some of us its to close to home.
I am a very caring person and I love people. Im not saying I would like to see them suffer in jail RE: Gang rapes, beatings etc, but I am saying they should remain there until they die.

For me, this thread isn't about them, I have my own opinions on the issues but I keep them to myself because this is not where those belong or would be appropriate.
My concern is about their families and friends who may be on this site.

I AGREE 100%
Let's be honest with ourselves for a minute, there are many in society who would judge you (and me) and your loved one, ie: being a convicted criminal, or the spouse of one.
So let's not throw stones... You don't choose your family and you can't change the past.

Paul Bernardo is housed in a special cell that is two cells put together, specially built. With a Plexi glas front, etc. he showers, exercises, eats, does everything from that cell. he never leaves it.
He has a whole cell block to himself at Kingston Pen(KP). KP is now mostly Protective Custody(PC) anyways, it has one cell block that has Parole violators from gen pop but the rest of the prison is PC.
PC's are undesirable prisoners who would be almost instantly killed if they were in Gen. Pop. Rapists, rats, child molesters, people who have sex with animals or a variety of other sexual and child abuse offenses. KP houses the lowest of the low and he cannot even be among these inmates as even the child rapists would kill Bernardo.
That says something.

I honestly do not know what part of "this is a support site for family and friends of the incarcerated" that is not understood here.
PTO is not a site that is about bashing anyone for any crime they may have committed. We are here to give support to the loved ones of those who are in prison, that's our purpose and that's our goal.
If someone can have compassion for this man, then accept that they can feel this, and move on. No one is asking or demanding that anyone feel compassion for him. It's been said over and over...the concern is for possible family members or friends who might frequent this site or even be members.
There are other sites that are designated for victims to vent their anger and pain at having been victimized. That would be more appropriate for this kind of conversation.
PTO is about support, and one thing it is definitely NOT about is naming criminals and bashing them for the crimes they committed. It's not a discussion board of that nature.
Please refrain from the negative comments, the bashing. As my grandmother always said, "if you can't find something nice to say, don't say anything at all". If this is a subject that is sensitive to you, then please pass it by.

How exactly does somebody go about writing to a Canadian prison inmate like Paul Bernardo?

You would find out what prison he is in and get the address they use for inmate mail, his "Identification", that's usually a number, and that's it.

I would like to write to Paul Bernardo for several reasons, including for my schooling. I recently read that he is in a cell that is three paces long and an arms length wide, and it evoked sadness in me which I didn't understand. I have always and still cannot comprehend what he has done but yes everyone deserves forgiveness. How can someone be rehabilitated when they are not receiving any programming in jail. He has been there 16 years now, would he not be rehabilitated or close to it if they were providing him with programming, it doesn't make sense. Could someone please help me and explain how to write to him. How do you get his prison number? The address? Any information and can he even get mail? Anything would be appreciated.

I believe he is at Kingston. You would have to contact the facility and ask them if he can receive mail and how to reach him.

I would simply write a letter to him, addressed to the Kingston Pen address. I am sure he would love to receive letters.

I too have always shared that thought, what the hell would be wrong with someone to have anything to do with him. However, my main reason is because of my schooling, and besides that, he is in prison for life, he can't hurt anyone anymore.
