Warden stained
MONTREAL (CP) -- Sunday. night's bloodbath at
Archambault penitentiary left. a. stain on the untarnished '
career af Andre Lemarier, considered one of the firmest

and fairest prison. wardens in the country.
“Firm, but reasonable,” .is how he was described by

. Nicole Daigneault of the Montreal-based Prisoners’ Rights °

League, which rarely says anything complimentary. about
Canada’s prisons or ‘the Personnel that run then. .
“Everbody. likea him because he has worked his way up-
the ranks,’" said an associate of Lemarier. ‘‘He’s a no-
nonsense man whe knows what guard work is all about.”
_ A 2M year veteran: of the Canadian penal system,
-Lemarier began as a guard, was appointed director of
security at Archambault: deeade ago, named warden of
maximum-security Laval penitentiary in -1976, then ap-
pointed director of Archambault in 1978, -

“When I arrived (at ‘Archambault), ” Lemarier said i inan -~
interview Tuesday, "I met with the prisoners’ committee,

asked them what they didn’t like, and made it clear to them
thal if they wanted their privileges, it was their respon-
sibility to make sure the violence stopped.”’.

With Lemarier as director, Archambault became the first

but can spend their time sunbathing, exercising or playing

“T have difficulty explaining it," Lemarier said about the

’ riot. “There area small group of prisoners here who will do”
anything to escape.

“This is what happened Sunday. When you have. such a

small group, thereis usually another Sroup of followers who -
will join. - 5

“Most of the prisoners who were in the yard when this
happened did not take part." 7

The deeds of a fanatical few will not change his attitude
toward the majority of inmales, Lemarier said.

But his service in the penal system, especially the past six -

years, has exacted a heavy"price.
“Tim ‘Ba but T feel like I'm 1,000, " he said.

near Chesley, Ont., between the-‘vigitantes” and a reporter.
from the Toronto Star. One of the vigilantes was an out-of-
uniform Ontario Provincial Police officer, he said.

“We set up the whole thing.” .

The Star, Canada’s largest daily newspaper, carried the
story on its front’ page last December. However, although,
some southern Ontario television stations later interviewed
the masked men, the existence of a vigilante group was
denied by farm and police. officials,

Ray Timson, The Star's managing editor, refused to
comment until he had studiéd the Record stdry.

Fran Reynolds, who wrote the Star story, told The Record

she was “not particularly” surprised that part of the story

was a hoax. Reynolds, who now W warka for CBC Radio, —
