Why is the United Nations not investigating the Human Rights Violations of Torture in Canada's Prisons.?

There are many bodies overseeing the treatment of prisoners. The CCRF (Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms) often applies more to prisoners than it does to average citizens. Allegations of torture are often reported. Representatives of Human rights organizations such as The John Howard Society, Elizabeth Fry Society and the Citizens Advisory Committee among others are in every prison daily monitoring these and other complaints. Torture can be defined many ways including the incarceration itself. Serious complaints are seldom verified. The United Nations committee does not get involved unless widespread complaints are backed up by qualified organizations. Prisons are not Spa's or vacation spots. Housing criminals together in one spot creates many problems and these problems are dealt with through many avenues of complaint. Allegations of torture get swift and immediate scrutiny and often the complainant and or family of the incarcerated criminal are well aware of this. The recent decision to eliminate smoking on CSC property has resulted in many "torture" complaints.
