SASKATOON --
A Saskatchewan Penitentiary prisoner says he and other inmates in his unit are afraid they’re not going to go home to their families.
That’s what Bronson Gordon said on a recorded phone call with Beyond Prison Walls Canada advocate Sherri Maier. Maier shared the phone call with CTV News.
The Saskatchewan prison is dealing with an outbreak of COVID-19, and Bronson said he only gets about 30 minutes out his cell every second day to update his loved ones over the phone.
“What’s happening to us is inhumane,” he said, adding he feels like a caged animal. “All these people here are suffering; they’re suffering in their cells.”
