Ashley Smith was born in Moncton, New Brunswick, and adopted when she was just a little girl. However, at the age of 13, she became very troubled and rebellious, constantly receiving suspensions at school for her impulsive behaviour, which even landed her in youth court several times. At age 15, Smith was convicted and sentenced to one-month incarceration at New Brunswick Youth Centre for throwing crab-apples at a postal worker. Within a few weeks of her sentence, Smith became aggressive towards the correctional staff and repeatedly destroyed her segregation cell. Her behavioral issues didn’t stop there, for instance, at times she threw urine and faecal matter at the guards. Due to Smith’s resistance, self-injurious behavior, and aggression towards the correctional guards, she accumulated several institutional infractions, which added 6-years to her original sentence of a month (DiManno 2012).
