“During a search in the sector, the dog of one of our handlers stood in front of a door. Reform officials found it strange. They examined the cell door frame and found that it had been forged inside the room, near the floor. Authorities found the hole and found all these items in the frame, ”explains Frederick LeBeau, regional head of the Canadian Union of Correctional Officers (Quebec) affiliated with CSN.

“It simply came to our notice then. The frame metal was cut with a wooden stick. Each time they picked up an object from their hiding place, the inmates filled the hole with handicrafts, plaster or wet toilet paper and re-sprayed it like prison paint, ”the president’s association added.

Among the items found were ceramic knives, sandpaper and Allen keys that could not be detected by detection devices installed at prison entrances needed to remove screws or bolts that were everywhere in the prison facility.

According to our information, the line where the hideout was found was occupied by street gang members from Toronto and other Ontario cities.

“System failure”

“Before it is too late, the correction service must be operational. At some point something serious is going to happen. Conflict between gang members will end in bloodshed, ”the union leader feared, accusing Ottawa of dragging its feet in accepting solutions.

“This discovery is proof of the system’s failure. The government has not taken enough action. Canada’s Commissioner for Reform, Ann Kelly, is very concerned about what’s happening in companies in the case of drugs and weapons,” he says.

Most of the items found on Monday were delivered by drone. Lepiu believes. According to him, at least two or three deliveries by drone take place every week in Donacona, which would make him one of the worst convicted prisoners in the case.

The new drone detection system using 3D technology is expected to be operational in Donacona in November. But Frédérick Lebeau asks that body scanners be installed on the doors, as in airports, so that prisoners can return to the establishment after leaving the courtyard because the guards have no authority to search for them.

“We can know that there were 475 drones during the day, but if the supplies delivered could not be recovered, we would not be advanced yet,” he said. Lepio regretted.

“We are concerned. As long as defensive mechanisms are in place, the purpose of the reforms will be a terrible failure. We will not allow any social reform to allow such behavior,” the union leader concluded.

No one was available Wednesday from Canada’s editing service to comment on the discovery.
