<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
On <b>1 April 2019</b> - The warden, Trent Mitchell, of William Head Penitentiary Institution in Victoria, <b>authorized James Shortreed up to 10 <u>escorted</u> temporary absences</b>. Therefore, the Victoria community should be forewarned of his presence and potential to commit crimes. The victims' families will continue to oppose James Shortreed from being released or granted unescorted temporary absences. #JamesShortreed #JimShortreed #Shortreed<br />

<br /></div>
On <b>Wednesday, 5 December 2018,</b> the parole board of Canada <b>denied</b> James Shortreed <b>unescorted temporary absences</b> from William Head Institution in Victoria.<br />
<br />
In 1997, James Shortreed bludgeoned Iris McNeil to death a month after they married. He was sentenced to life in prison in 1999.<br />
<br />
Family of the victim, Iris McNeil said they are pleased by the board's decision, though disappointed they continue to have to endure parole hearings nevertheless, they have faith in the parole board to keep from interacting with the community via unescorted absence.<br />
<br />
In the most recent hearing, the family noted the 59 year-old was applying for an unescorted absence during which, if approved, he could have been living in a halfway house in downtown Victoria.<br />
<br />
The victim's family is urging all victims of crime and their families to submit victim impact statements and ask for a change to the law regarding the number of times an inmate can apply for different types of parole within a two-year period. #JamesShortreed #JimShortreed #Shortreed<br />

For the family of Iris McNeil, the agony, anguish, torture and trauma will not diminish with the passing of another parole hearing.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; font-size: 1.125rem; line-height: 1.875rem; margin-bottom: 1.5rem; max-width: 640px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility; width: 640px;">
The morning of Dec. 5 will mark the third time members of McNeil’s family will travel from the mainland to attend a parole hearing for James Shortreed, the man who brutally murdered Iris on July 23, 1997, said Crystal Brendzy.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; font-size: 1.125rem; line-height: 1.875rem; margin-bottom: 1.5rem; max-width: 640px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility; width: 640px;">
<span style="font-size: 1.125rem;">“I had never been to a prison before,” she recalled regarding that first time she attended a hearing for Shortreed with her father, aunt and uncle at William Head Institution in 2012. “We got into a van at the main building and had to drive past all these little townhouses, it was nothing like what I imagined,” she explained. “I will never forget the prisoners looking at us as we drove through the grounds and got out of our vehicle. I remember going into a room where the hearing took place and he was in the room, sitting 12 feet away from us. It was extremely unsettling. That was the first time we all got to share our victim impact statements.”</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; font-size: 1.125rem; line-height: 1.875rem; margin-bottom: 1.5rem; max-width: 640px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility; width: 640px;">
Shortreed was seeking unescorted temporary absences (UTAs) to attend a 60-day program, a situation which would have resulted in him having unsupervised time, Brendzy said. The application was denied because the parole board decided Shortreed wasn’t ready. “We’re thankful it was denied, but the impact of being in the same room and hearing him speak was so devastating and indescribable,” Brendzy said.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; font-size: 1.125rem; line-height: 1.875rem; margin-bottom: 1.5rem; max-width: 640px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility; width: 640px;">
The family attended another hearing in 2016, this time for Shortreed’s application for escorted temporary absences (ETAs). The application was granted, which meant any further requests for the same type of pass would be granted without a hearing, based purely on approval by the warden, Brendzy explained.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; font-size: 1.125rem; line-height: 1.875rem; margin-bottom: 1.5rem; max-width: 640px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility; width: 640px;">
“Our position has not changed,” Brendzy said. “This hearing is just as important, if not more important than the one six years ago. My brother Ryan is coming from the Middle East to attend because it’s absolutely that important to him. He would do anything for my aunt. It’s getting harder and harder because we know Shortreed’s getting closer to a hearing for full release, and this UTA hearing is another step in that process. We’re not advised of what he’s asking for until we’re in the room for the hearing. Generally, I manage to stay on top of things, but there are times when it just overwhelms me.”</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; font-size: 1.125rem; line-height: 1.875rem; margin-bottom: 1.5rem; max-width: 640px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility; width: 640px;">
Lisa Saether, regional manager community relations and training for the Parole Board of Canada’s Pacific region, said although the board cannot comment on specific cases, she could provide some specifics on procedures and policy.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; font-size: 1.125rem; line-height: 1.875rem; margin-bottom: 1.5rem; max-width: 640px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility; width: 640px;">
UTAs can be authorized for community service, medical reasons, family contact and personal development, Saether said. Parole board members must examine two criteria when assessing the risk in applications. Those include whether there is undue risk to society, and whether the UTA will facilitate the offender’s reintegration into the community. Some of the examples for granting UTAs include attending improvement programs such as substance abuse programs, technical training programs and counselling sessions. “The board can impose conditions we deem necessary and reasonable to protect society,” Saether said.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; font-size: 1.125rem; line-height: 1.875rem; margin-bottom: 1.5rem; max-width: 640px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility; width: 640px;">
Shortreed and Brendzy’s aunt had been married for only a month when he bludgeoned her to death while she slept and stuffed her body in a freezer. Brendzy said no one in the family, including her aunt, knew about Shortreed’s violent criminal history, which included assault, rape and forcible confinement. “My aunt was not his first and only victim,” she stressed. “I don’t believe she would be his last if he’s granted UTAs.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; font-size: 1.125rem; line-height: 1.875rem; margin-bottom: 1.5rem; max-width: 640px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility; width: 640px;">
“The emotional and physical toll starts with the letter notifying us of the hearing, revising our victim impact statements, communicating with the parole board, making arrangements for the trip. For myself, I have a responsibility to stand up or what’s right and protect my family and the women in Victoria.”</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; font-size: 1.125rem; line-height: 1.875rem; margin-bottom: 1.5rem; max-width: 640px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility; width: 640px;">
At least the family won’t have to drive past prisoners staring at them again this time because their request to have the hearing held in the main building at the front of William Head has been granted. “I understand that many other families have expressed their concern with that as well,” she added.</div>

By Jeremy Deutsch, Coquitlam NowNovember 2, 2012<br />
<strong>On Wednesday October 31, 2013, the parole board denied James Shortreed unescorted temporary absences from William Head Institution in Victoria.</strong><br />
<br />
In 1997, James Shortreed bludgeoned Iris McNeil to death a month after they married. He was sentenced to life in prison in 1999.<br />
<br />
In a statement to The NOW Wednesday, the Brendzy family, who reside in Coquitlam, said they are pleased by the board's decision, though disappointed they will have to endure parole hearings every couple of years, including another possible hearing for day or full parole in six months.<br />
"It was difficult for our family to submit and read our victim impact statements, but we made it through and were strong," said Ryan Brendzy, McNeil's nephew.<br />
<br />
In the most recent hearing, the family noted the 57 year-old was applying for an eight-week unescorted absence during which, if approved, he could have been living in a halfway house in downtown Victoria.<br />
<br />
The Brendzy family is urging all victims of crime and their families to submit victim impact statements and ask for a change to the law regarding the number of times an inmate can apply for different types of parole within a two-year period.<br />
