I think Bernardo was sentenced to an indeterminate sentence, which means he's not getting out on parole even after the 25 year minimum sentence is served. And as far as i'm aware there are no Congugal Visits in the Canadian penal system.

There are. With federal time, not provincial time

Well then what is Bernardo serving?

I know he applied for Medium Security status some time ago... which results in tangibly better living conditions.. but was denied, although he's been a 'model' inmate.

Federal. Anything over a couple years is federal. Also he was charged with murder which also falls under federal jurisdiction.


I take back what I said - i just read that she thinks he is innocent. Very strange, did he even deny it afterwards? I don't recall.

He got federal time.

Conditions of access for conjugal visits in Ontario
Private Family Visits in Canada, Between Rehabilitation and Stricter Control: Portrait of a System

1.3 Conditions of Access
14Since the object of these visits is to maintain both relations within the couple and family and social ties, these programs are open to everyone in the prisoner’s entourage. Potential visitors include not only family members in the broadest acceptation – spouses, common-law partners3, children, parents, foster-parents, siblings, grandparents, and persons with whom, in the opinion of the institutional head, the inmate has a close familial bond – but also anyone else in the community with whom it is clearly established that the offender has a strong relationship irrespective of any family tie.

15The private family visit program is open to all inmates incarcerated in a federal prison independently of its level of security, except for those in a special detention unit4. However, some prisoners may be barred from the program, either because there is a risk of family or conjugal violence, or because they have access to other programs for maintaining family ties, particularly unsupervised leaves. Also, if there seems to be some potential danger or if the inmate is found guilty of a disciplinary offense threatening safety within the facility – such as introducing prohibited objects, possession of weapons or of instruments susceptible of use for escape or taking a hostage – during the previous private family visit, he loses his right to the program.

16Authorization is delivered by the head of the facility following recommendation by the probation officer in charge of the inmate. Before any private family visit, a request for admission must be filed. Security screening is then done, and repeated every 2 years. At the same time, the visitor must sign a “statement of voluntary participation and consent” and meet with the officer in charge of the case, who determines whether the person is fully, entirely willing to participate in this type of visit and is not under any pressure to do so. The same officer evaluates whether “the relationship is well-grounded, stable and beneficial”. To do so she considers all available information, especially using investigations within the community and the family, and among neighbors or any employer of the offender as well of as his visitors. Last, following each private family visit, a staff member meets the visitors to make sure the visit went well.

He blamed Homolka because she ratted him out. He never accepted guilt and neither did she. My gal tended to Homolka in a forensics unit. She is a true 5 Star Nut Bar. Crazy bitch.

oh geez, I hadn't even considered that she may have some fantasies of this stripe. It's totally possible. I guess if she continues on with her relationship with him regardless of what her families have said then it's a real possiblity...


I guess with some people if they can't get fame, infamy will do!

Everybody has their kinks. Maybe she's into Bad Boys.

Rob Ford's a bad boy too.... "Grab a fold" as they say. :twisted:

yeah, but he's beyond a bad boy. You want someone who'll make your heart flutter with a mixture of adrenaline and fear...not one who'll stop your heart and watch you die with his boner in his hand...

You've got to wonder what an 'attractive, college educated' 30 year old would see in a seedy 50 year old 'sexual sadist', serving life for rape and murder.. who will likely never see the light of day. But apparently serial killers are rock stars on the prison correpondence pen pal circuit.. drawing young women looking for that 'mysterious, dark stranger' i guess. :roll:

I think Bernardo was sentenced to an indeterminate sentence as a 'Dangerous Offender', which means he's not getting out on parole even after the 25 year minimum sentence is served unless he's deemed to be NO threat to the public. You know that's never going to happen. And as far as i'm aware there are no Congugal Visits in the Canadian penal system.

He'll never see the light of day again.
