Jamie Boulachanis, a murderer who recently became a woman in the definition under Canadian law, will make her second request on Monday to be transferred to a federal penitentiary for women to continue serving a life sentence.

The case, to be heard at the Montreal courthouse, pits Boulachanis’s rights to equality versus Correctional Service Canada’s concerns for public safety.

CSC has argued in the past that Boulachanis poses a serious risk of escaping and a threat to public safety if she gets out.

“(Her) risk of escaping is considered high, as is the risk to the public if (she) escapes. She requires a high degree of surveillance and control inside penitentiaries,” CSC wrote last year when it filed a challenge to a Federal Court order that Boulachanis be moved to a women’s penitentiary.

Boulachanis, 46, was born as John Boulachanis. A jury convicted her in December 2016 of having killed 32-year-old Robert Tanguay. Tanguay was killed in Rigaud in 1997 and his body was buried in a sandpit, where it remained hidden for years. The trial was held at the Gouin courthouse in northern Montreal, specially designed for trials involving people tied to organized crime, because of attempts Boulachanis made to escape while detained. On one occasion, Boulachanis managed to free herself from restraints on a prison transfer bus and won about 30 seconds of freedom before she was tackled by a guard as she ran from the vehicle.
