More than 1,000 inmates in provincial jails will be offered COVID-19 vaccines this week.
On Monday, immunization teams set up clinics at Headingley Correctional Centre and Milner Ridge Correctional Centre, which house an estimated 900 people.
The clinics will wrap up on April 29 and April 27, respectively, before immunization teams move on to the Brandon Correctional Centre to deliver doses on April 29. An estimated 273 people are incarcerated at the Brandon jail.
Free Press has learned.
The email directive issued to jail administrators Friday quickly pitted inmates who wanted the reward against those who didn’t want to be vaccinated, exposing both inmates and staff to increased risk of violence, a source said Monday. This is going to be a s - storm, because everybody is really, really mad, the source said. Every time there is a fight, I am putting myself at risk. Every fight that we have to go in and respond to and stop puts us in jeopardy. Yes, I want them vaccinated, but not like this.
The source said a message sent to jail superintendents on Friday directed that staff encourage inmates to receive the vaccine, with a promise that if 90 per cent of inmates in a unit did so, they would each get a bottle of pop, a bag of chips, a chocolate bar, a 15-minute phone call to family, and a meat and cheese tray for the entire unit.
