Reports sent to The Globe, also by mistake, show that miscommunications and administrative errors resulted in the premature release of hundreds of inmates
On May 31, a ministry official mistakenly sent The Globe 384 pages of unredacted incident reports completed by corrections administrators and staff.
Officials scrambling to contact offenders and get them back behind bars often had phone numbers for the person or their relatives that turned out to be useless. When contact was made, some offenders were co-operative; others were not. Many of the incident reports note that authorities were still looking for the offenders when the reports were filed.
In July, 2021, another man facing charges of assault, criminal harassment and forcible confinement in the context of domestic violence was supposed to be transferred to a therapy centre but instead was freed from the Amos Detention Centre, in northwestern Quebec. The mistake was only discovered a month and a half later, when police stopped the man by chance and the Crown prosecutor’s office asked correctional services why he was free.
Correctional services realized what happened a week later, and Mr. Leung was brought back on April 10. He was later found guilty of attempted murder. Three days later, the hospital contacted the jail, saying the woman was never taken to the psychiatric ward and could not be found elsewhere in the hospital. Officials were still looking for her when that report was filed.
