Manitoba’s government just paid $129 million to settle a landmark class-action lawsuit over decades of segregation in provincial jails — a move hailed by the judge as fiscally smart, ending costly legal battles while paving the way for overdue reforms. Filed in 2021 by two inmates alleging prolonged solitary confinement caused serious harm, the case covers thousands of vulnerable individuals held in isolation for over 15 days between 2012 and 2026. Though the province didn’t admit fault, it agreed to the deal to avoid a risky trial — securing policy changes and closure for victims. Lawyers pocket $33.7 million, while plaintiffs each get $20,000. The government vows to review its practices, prioritizing safety — a settlement that ends pain but begins healing.
