Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: Drug Treatment Courts (DTC) in Canada integrate drug treatment services with the structures of the criminal justice system in attempts to reduce criminal behaviour and disease prevention, create better use of jail facilities and to ensure public safety. Upon admittance to the program clients must plead guilty, vocalize their addiction in court and consequently are forced to comply with several bail conditions, including but not limited to a curfew and spatial boundaries. These boundaries, which are the main focus of this paper, are allocated by the Crown and designate which neighbourhoods clients may or may not enter. Transgressing these boundaries leads to a violation of bail conditions and potential expulsion from DTC. The spatial and racial implications of these boundaries are the focal point of this paper. What precisely is the purpose of these spatial boundaries? Do they help addicts avoid drug use or do they further criminalize racialized poor neighbourhoods? Using court observations from DTC’s in Toronto and Vancouver from 2004-2006 I will question the purpose of these boundaries and explore how urban spaces are affected by these bail conditions. This paper will examine how DTC boundaries reinforce the colonial violence of law in space, how they further displace already visible and marked bodies and how they reinforce ‘zones of degeneracy’. Overall, this paper will develop an understanding of the post-colonial territoriality of seemingly progressive treatment programs within Canada’s Criminal Justice System.
