Transfer of 'gang' cons OK'd
By KATHLEEN MARTENS -- Winnipeg Sun
Three Stony Mountain prison inmates failed to block their transfer
to maximum security penitentiaries outside the province yesterday
after officials branded them troublemakers. Andrew Paupanekis, David Kruse
and Darryl Cook denied they are high-ranking members of an aboriginal
street gang operating within the medium security prison that ordered a
vicious attack on another inmate last month. But Justice Peter Morse said
there was enough evidence to believe the transfer would restore the
"orderly and proper administration of the institution." It was also a rule
that gang involvement was grounds for transfer, he added. Lindsey Kuisis
was stabbed in the eye with a home-made weapon on Sept. 12, throwing the
prison into lockdown mode for nearly a week. The assistant warden said
Kuisis, doing time for armed robbery, was assaulted by three inmates upon
returning from the exercise yard.
'RELIABLE SOURCES'
Head warden David Mills alleged in court documents the accused
were involved in gang-related criminal activity within the institution and
were a security risk. His information came from other inmates considered
"reliable sources," he noted. Federal Crown attorney Mark Mason said Mills
received approval from the Correctional Services of Canada regional
transfer board to send Kruse to Edmonton Institution and Cook and
Paupanekis to Saskatchewan Penitentiary in Prince Albert, Sask. In the
meantime, the convicts were being kept in segregation. But defence lawyer
Norman Boudreau tried to quash the decision. He said his clients denied
being gang members or ordering the attack. "They have no prior knowledge of
this assault or involvement whatsoever," he said.
The transfer is unfair, Boudreau added, because his clients could
not question their accusers and "therefore they cannot defend
themselves." His clients are all serving time for manslaughter. After they
were led out of the courtroom shackled together at the wrists and ankles
Boudreau said an appeal was under consideration.
