Summary:Scores of other felons are demanding judicial reviews of CSC and National Parole Board staff decisions they allege stomp on their constitutional rights. These include the denial of a religious diet, errors in calculating release dates, unwarranted disciplinary actions and libelous statements in CSC staff reports. Probably the busiest criminal is Albert Duterville, a Maritimer who, between 2003 and 2005, filed 26 legal beefs against CSC, including a claim for $55,000 for injuries inflicted by co-mates and demands for a review of a decision not to let him phone his son or send out mail within 24 hours.
