When the 10 correctional officers charged in the death of an Inuk man at a jail in St. John s face a judge for the first time in February, Gordon Wheaton says he d like to be there.
Wheaton is a former inmate of Her Majesty s Penitentiary, the jail in which Jonathan Henoche was killed on Nov. 6, 2019. He said he spent two days with Henoche in a cell in the jail s special handling unit in 2018.
