SASKATCHEWAN, CANADA - A couple of weeks before six inmates broke out of a secure remand unit at the Regina Correctional Centre, a manager lifted extra security restrictions that had been in place on the unit due to earlier concerns, a source familiar with the jail has told the Leader-Post. The source said that a period of confinement had been put in place after staff conducted a search of that unit and found balaclavas and weapons. "It's always a big fight to keep guys confined," the source said. The source claimed staff shouldn't have to push as hard as it does when they request an "institutional lock up" so searches can be conducted. Corrections workers also say the front-line staff wasn't informed about a tip of a possible jailbreak that apparently went up the chain of command 10 days prior to the escape. Such information needs to be passed on to staff, even when there aren't details, said the source, speaking on the condition of anonymity. Read more.
