"Human Rights" in Wussland

The latest "human rights" mishegas, from the Vancouver Sun:
OTTAWA — The Canadian Human Rights Tribunal has ordered the Correctional Service of Canada to pay $9,500 in compensation to a man serving a life sentence for the 1983 murder of an Ontario police officer. 
In a decision released Wednesday, the tribunal upheld a discrimination complaint by Peter Michael Collins, who shot and killed police Const. David Utman of Nepean, near Ottawa, at a shopping centre. 
Collins, 48, who suffers from chronic and severe back pain, filed a human rights complaint alleging a directive requiring inmates to stand up for a once-a-day count by correctional officers amounted to "adverse differentiation" on the basis of disability...
I have no problem compensating this dude for his "pain and suffering"--as long as the money goes to the survivors of the cop he offed.

I had the same thought - his victim's family could probably find a use for nine grande. I thought jail was supposed to be about suffering so that you wouldn't want to repeat whatever it was that got you thrown in there.
