KINGSTON, [Ontario] – Millhaven Institution, west of Kingston, Ont., remains in lockdown status one week after some incidents involving unruly prisoners.
A staff member was assaulted by a prisoner last Friday but was able to return to work the next day after receiving medical treatment.
Other incidents include fires being set in a maximum-security area and a weapon being found in the kitchen.
The Institutional Emergency Response Team was brought in to help return things to normal.
Authorities are restricting inmate activities and banning visitors from the maximum-security prison until the investigations are complete.
