Lockdown Ends, Search at Mission Institution

Correctional Service Canada

The lockdown and exceptional search put in place at the medium security unit at Mission Institution on October 28, 2024, ended after four days. The institution has since resumed its normal operations, including visits.

During the exceptional search, contraband and unauthorized items were found. The items seized included, among others, homemade brew, a cell phone and tattoo paraphernalia.

The Correctional Service of Canada (CSC) is strengthening measures to prevent the entry of contraband into its institutions in order to ensure a safe and secure environment for everyone. CSC also works in partnership with the police to take action against those who attempt to have contraband brought into correctional institutions.
