On October 15, 2024, four inmates were the victims of an assault at Millhaven Institution, a maximum-security federal institution.
The injured inmates were evaluated by staff members and transported to an outside hospital to receive treatment and have all since returned to the institution.
The institution is collaborating with the Ontario Provincial Police during their investigation.
No staff members or other inmates were injured during this incident.
The safety and security of institutions, their staff, and the public remains the highest priority in the operations of the federal correctional system.
In order to improve practices aimed at preventing this type of incident, the Correctional Service of Canada will review the circumstances of the incident and take the appropriate measures.
