A spokesman says that’s out of a total 476 offenders at the jail, which houses people serving provincial sentences less than two years and those in remand awaiting court appearances.The Ministry of Corrections and Policing calls the outbreak “deeply concerning” and says all inmates at the jail will continue to be tested.

“I feel like a science experiment. I feel like a lab rat being watched by scientists,” 29-year-old Troy Maurice told The Canadian Press in a recent interview. He said the bunks are close together, the room feels stuffy because there isn’t enough air flow and those on the unit have been together for weeks.“It was impossible to get away from everybody. There’s guys who tested positive for COVID on the bottom bunks and the guys on the top bunks are just deathly scared.”

“Additionally, Corrections must continue to ensure that incompatible offenders are not put in a situation where they are more likely to endanger themselves or others.”Busse said last week that most inmates in Saskatoon’s jail who tested positive were asymptotic. And temporary trailers were brought in so those offenders could isolate.
