There are picket lines outside the Joyceville Institution in Kingston, Ont., and one mother of an inmate says she is concerned the strike may be affecting the wellbeing of inmates inside.
The mother, who asked we not reveal her identify for her son's safety, says there were delays with basic services on Monday and inmates were confined to cells throughout the day.
Those on the picket line include a wide range of workers, who are non-correctional staff, such as some health care workers, administration officials and food service workers, among others. In a statement, Corrections Canada says that “work continues to maintain essential operations” and that “adjustments have been made to operational routines, to ensure that their delivery is taking place in a timely manner.”
