ABBOTSFORD — The Correctional Service of Canada says an inmate at an Abbotsford prison was transported to hospital for treatment after an assault last weekend.

The CSC released a statement saying an inmate was the victim of an assault at Pacific Institution’s Regional Treatment Centre, a multi‑level federal institution, last Saturday, Oct. 25.

The injured inmate was evaluated by staff members and transported to an outside hospital to receive treatment and has since returned to the institution.

The CSC says the Abbotsford Police Department and the institution are presently investigating the incident.

The assailants have been identified, and the appropriate actions have been taken.

No staff members or other inmates were injured during this incident.

The CSC insists the safety and security of institutions, their staff, and the public remains the highest priority in the operations of the federal correctional system. As it repeats each time an assault occurs, the CSC says it will review the circumstances of the incident and take what it calls “appropriate measures.”
