REGINA -- Protestors gathered outside the legislative building on Friday, calling on the government to vaccinate inmates in prisons. Julie Paul said her son is an inmate at the Regina Correctional Centre and has now contracted COVID-19 for the second time. She feels the inmates need to be vaccinated quickly, to hopefully stop the spreading of the virus. “We’re not just going to let them stay in there to die pretty much and to just suffer,” Paul said. “They should actually be given priority, because they should have just known that they were just going to get COVID.” As of Thursday, there are 27 active cases in staff and 120 active cases in inmates at the Regina Correctional Centre, according to the Ministry of Justice. A total of 69 staff have recovered from the virus, along with 262 inmates.
