An inmate was taken to hospital after an assault at Mission Institution earlier this month.
According to a news release from the Correctional Service of Canada (CSC) on Monday (June 29), the inmate received treatment and has since returned to Mission Institution.
The incident occurred in the prison’s medium security unit on June 20. Per the release, the injured inmate was evaluated by staff before they were taken to hospital.
Mission RCMP is investigating the assault alongside the prison.
“The assailants have been identified and the appropriate actions have been taken,” CSC said.
CSC said it will review the circumstances of the incident and take the “appropriate measures” to improve practices aimed at preventing similar incidents.
