Canada's last military prison costs $2 million a year to run, has a staff of 26 and last had an inmate in mid-April. But it delivers value for money, the military police argue.

Global News found that the prison, nicknamed Club Ed, costs $2 million per year to run and for around half the time since January 2017, has had no prisoners.

The military jails fewer and fewer of its soldiers, but still spends $2 million a year on its 25-cell internal prison, which has no inmates about half the time. Should it stay open?
