CANADA - Saskatchewan's privacy commissioner says the province's Ministry of Corrections, Public Safety and Policing made several errors when two inmates applied separately to access jail documents. A Feb. 29 commissioner report says an inmate in the Regina Provincial Correctional Centre applied to see copies of incident reports, decision reports, and health records after a March 2004 incident at the jail. The commissioner's report said the inmate had concerns about some of the employees' conduct during that incident. The ministry did hand over some of the documents (some of which had information blacked out) about two months after the inmate asked to see them. However, privacy commissioner Gary Dickson said the ministry took an unjustified 30-day extention to find the information. The ministry was late meeting the response deadline spelled out in law, and, in the documents it did hand over, the ministry did not properly explain why segments were blacked out, or cite what exemptions they were using to withhold information.
