The correctional system isn’t made to rehabilitate people, he said. Arcand said he has a family member whose incarceration stems from an addiction to methamphetamine, but hasn’t received supports. “It’s just strictly locked up, follow the rules … hasn’t been to a doctor, has been on a doctor’s list,” he said. “But no actual outcomes and deliverables to support them while they’re incarcerated.”

Province requests review into death of Sask woman days after being released from Pine Grove Correctional Centre

  SASKATOON The Saskatchewan government has requested a review into the death of a 34-year-old woman whose body was discovered in Saskatoon days after being released from Pine Grove Correctional Centre near Prince Albert. Kimberly Squirrel, who was on remand there, was found dead outside near Avenue Q S and 18th Street W on Jan. 23 when temperatures were in the -30s C. She left Pine Grove three days earlier.  “Frankly, I was surprised we haven’t heard of similar situations before,” said Julia Quigley, a legal aid lawyer in Prince Albert and president of CUPE 1949, the union that represents all legal aid staff and lawyers.
