Prison Inquests - Right or Wrong?

Five years ago, an inmate by the name of Donald James Mongeon was stabbed and murdered in his prison cell. Without sufficient evidence, no charges were laid and his murder remains unsolved. Now, the Ottawa Citizen has learned that the Ontario coroner's office will soon announce an inquest into the unsolved killing of Mongeon.

So the big question is: should we care?

Obviously if Mongeon is a friend or member of your family, you're going to care. You're going to want the case solved and you'll want the police/OPP to work the case as hard as they can.

But what about everyone else? Do we care that this murder or the murder of any convicted offender inside our prisons get solved? Given the cost of inquests and the resources required, should these cases even be a priority? Or would we rather see funds and resources go towards solving cold cases that involve truly innocent victims like Ardeth Wood?

Something to think about isn't it...Read more about this prison inquest story at:
