Canadian boy, parents arrive in Toronto after Texas prison stay

The plight of refugees is always tough. In this case the boy was a Canadian citizen and therefore we owed him our support.
Now Canada can begin to bring the rest of the extended family to live with them.
I love how the article says detention center and the post here on CC says prison. It does not surprise me though.

I agree with self. The family should not have forged documents. The forms are there for a reason and idiots who think they can pay for a false document and get away with it deserve to be punished. Meanwhile many law-abiding people fill in thousands of forms, tell the immigration people their wife's bra size and what they ate for tea last thursday, pay hundreds of dollars for a doctor to grab their balls and scribble on a form, and then get to wait in line for two years.
There is a difference bewteen refugees and immigrants. If someone has to forge documents to get out of Iran and to a safe country, I'm not going to begrudge them that. Anything short of a hijacking to get out is fine with me. Better than being killed by secret police, stoned to death or whatever else the religious courts over there inflict as punishement.
? I can't for the life of me find where it says prison, except in saying that the detention center was a converted prison. Where did it or anyone say prison?
Well for pete's sake... certainly I can't be expected to notice things so hidden, right? LOL.
