Stuffing inmates into shower cells at the Ottawa-Carleton Detention Centre is “a situation that shouldn’t have happened,” Premier Kathleen Wynne said Friday.
Wynne said she “absolutely” has confidence in Corrections Minister Yasir Naqvi, who wasn’t aware the jail was using showers to house inmates.
Naqvi issued an order last weekend to end the practice of using shower cells, but inmates were still detained in jail showers until a new order was issued at the jail this week.
“(Naqvi) has issued a direction that it must not happen again and as I say any breach of that direction we take very seriously,” Wynne said in Ottawa.
Reports that the jail superintendent may have been replaced was news to Wynne. “That’s the first I’ve heard about that,” she told reporters.
Wynne was in Ottawa to deliver a speech at a Canada 2020 forum and participate in a technology roundtable discussion at Invest Ottawa.
But the hot provincial issue in Canada’s capital is the beleaguered Innes Road jail. Wynne said it’s on her radar.
“This is not just about one institution,” the premier said. “It’s about the system across the province and there is work that needs to be done in terms of making sure that we have the right supports in place for the people who work in those facilities and for the inmates.”
