There’s no door knocking or lawn signs in prison.

The Correctional Service of Canada says it is suspending visits to federal prisons in Quebec to prevent the potential spread of COVID-19.

Officials say a package found contained a "large quantity" of tobacco and "shatter," the most potent form of cannabis.

On Aug. 15 a lockdown was ordered at the prison after opened contraband packaging was found within the property.

The number of people in correctional institutions saw an unprecedented decline during the COVID-19 pandemic, according to a new Stats Can report.

One of the inmates at the jail says 70 prisoners in the maximum security section of the men's facility are refusing to eat or take medication.

Paul Dube details problems with overcrowding, poor living conditions, and lack of inmate access to medical care in his annual report released Tuesday.

More than 100 inmates began a hunger strike on Monday and say it will continue until their list of demands are met.

Quebec reported 75 new deaths on Saturday for a total of 3,940 fatalities since the health crisis began.

Some offenders serving the custody portion of their intermittent sentences on weekends are being moved to house arrest over concerns over the potential spread of COVID-19 in the province's correctional facilities, according to a spokesperson for Alberta Justice.
