SASKATOON, CANADA — Saskatchewan's justice minister has ordered a review after delays last week in notifying police and the public about two prisoners who were mistakenly released from courts in Regina and Saskatoon.

"This is something that is not acceptable because it leaves public safety greatly compromised," Don Morgan said Sunday, the day after the arrest of one of the two prisoners.

Morgan said he's asked his deputy minister to determine what happened in the two cases, find out if similar errors have occurred in the past and to develop a system that will ensure it doesn't happen again.
