The jury at the Ashley Smith inquest in Toronto ruling her death was the result of a homicide.
The Moncton teen died in her prison cell in Kitchener, Ontario in 2007. She choked to death of pieces of material after jail guards were told not to rush and help her.
Among its many recommendations, the jury is recommending that indefinite solitary confinement be abolished and until that happens, they suggest it be restricted to a maximum of 15 days.
Another recommendation is for Smith's story to be used a case study for front line workers at the Correctional Service of Canada.
For nearly a year, the jury has been listening to thousands of hours of testimony and reviewing hundreds of exhibits of Smith's time in federal prison.
