Report duty

An inmate sought our help after he was involved in an altercation with another inmate and then pepper sprayed and assaulted by correctional officers. He had reported the assault to health care staff, but our review showed that they did not report the incident to superiors as required by Ministry policy. We raised the inmate’s concerns with senior Ministry officials, who confirmed that they spoke with the facility’s health care staff to remind them of the reporting requirements.
