CANADA - Inmates from Nanaimo Regional Correctional Centre provide thousands of hours of community service every year in the form of supervised work crews. But for some inmates the temptation of freedom is too much to resist, and they literally walk away from their crew. It has happened 14 times in the last five years, a rate much higher than is seen at similar other facilities. Only one provincially run prison has seen more inmates escape from work crews than NRCC over the past five years, and it has more than twice the prisoner population and three times as many working inmates. The Fraser Regional Correctional Centre, which houses an average of 500 prisoners, had 16 inmates walk away from work crews, compared to 14 inmates escaping at NRCC (with an average population of 200) in the last five years, statistics from Corrections B.C. show.
