AGASSIZ – Mounties from the Agassiz RCMP detachment are investigating two separate assaults that happened at an Agassiz prison earlier this week, one of which was a reported stabbing.
Correctional Service Canada says two inmates were victims of assaults at Kent Institution, a max-security federal prison, on Sunday, June 28 and Monday, June 29.
CSC says the injured inmates were evaluated by staff members and transported to outside hospitals to receive treatment.
Federal correctional staff say the Agassiz detachment of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and the institution are presently investigating the incidents.
