Notorious serial rapist and murderer Paul Bernardo was transferred to a medium-security prison in Quebec this week.
Bernardo has been at the Millhaven Institution near Kingston for ten years, and before that he was at Kingston Penitentiary – both maximum security prisons in Ontario.
His new placement is at La Macaza Institution in Quebec, in the Laurentians region northwest of Montreal.
“While we cannot comment on the details of an offender’s case, we assure the public that this offender remains in a secure facility, with appropriate security perimeters and controls in place,” a spokesperson said on Friday.
“It is important to note that this offender is serving an indefinite sentence, meaning there is no end date to his sentence.”
Bernardo was sentenced to life in prison for kidnapping, raping, torturing and murdering two teenagers, 15-year-old Frenchman and 14-year-old Mahaffy, in the early 1990s near St. Catharines, Ont.
