FRASER VALLEY – A lockdown has been implemented at a Fraser Valley prison to enable federal correctional staff to conduct an exceptional search.
According to a statement from Correctional Service Canada, a lockdown was put in place in the medium-security unit at Mission Institution on Tuesday, May 19.
CSC says the search was instituted to maintain the safety and security of the institution, its staff, and inmates.
Visits have been suspended until the search is completed. Normal operations will resume once prison officials say it is considered safe to do so.
