Overall COVID-19 cases decrease at Regina jail, but the number of infected guards is going up

  COVID-19 cases are decreasing overall at the Regina Correctional Centre, however the number of COVID-positive guards is increasing. As of Wednesday, the Ministry of Justice said 27 guards and 109 inmates had active cases of COVID-19. On April 15, SGEU – the union representing correctional officers – told CTV News 20 guards and 131 inmates were COVID-positive. According to SGEU, four inmates are in hospital. SGEU has been pushing the government to vaccinate both guards and inmates against the virus. On Tuesday, the province announced correctional guards would be included in vaccine prioritization once the eligible age dropped down to 40. The province said it anticipates this will happen next week.

Charges stayed for drive-by shooting suspect

The man who allegedly pulled the trigger during a drive-by shooting in Prince Albert, striking an 18-year-old woman in the back, has no further scheduled court dates. Kyle Bear, 29, was one of three people charged following the incident on Aug. 27, 2019. Last June, he entered not guilty pleas to various charges including attempted murder and the case was scheduled for trial. The Crown has since entered a stay of proceedings. The man behind the wheel, Kirk McDonald, was sentenced last week and received a three-year prison sentence for his role. According to the statement of facts read in court, a gold-coloured Chrysler car pulled up alongside a second car in the 1400 block of Marquis Drive. A passenger in the suspect’s vehicle proceeded to fire three shots towards the other vehicle. One of the bullets struck the young woman, who was sitting in the back seat.

Saskatoon Fire Department in talks to help fight COVID-19 outbreak at Saskatoon jail

As of Dec. 18, there were 58 inmates and 19 staff with COVID-19, compared to nine inmates and three staff at the Prince Albert Correctional Centre. Hackl said that ensuring safety is paramount. We ve looked at this carefully and determined that our primary care paramedics working at the correctional centre would be at no more risk than if they were working out of fire stations in a normal environment, he said.
