Two Kent Institution inmates were hospitalized following an assault at the maximum-security institution.
Correctional Service of Canada stated the inmates have been treated and have returned to the institution. The assailants have been identified and action has been taken. The Agassiz RCMP and CSC are investigating the incident.
A number of individual assaults have occurred during recent weeks, but this is the first multi-victim incident CSC has identified in at least several months.
“The safety and security of institutions, their staff and the public remains the highest priority in the operations of the federal correctional system,” The CSC stated.
