Advocates call for immediate release of some N.S. inmates as COVID cases rise

HALIFAX With more than 1,300 active cases of COVID-19 in Nova Scotia, advocates are calling for action within the provincial justice system. Wellness Within – an organization for Health and Justice – is calling for the immediate release of prisoners to safe housing, and appropriate funding for organizations providing transitional housing and other supports, such as Coverdale Courtwork Society and the Elizabeth Fry Society. When we release people we are not seeing an escalation in crime,” said Martha Paynter, chair of Wellness Within. People are incarcerated in this province largely while they re waiting for trials, so they re innocent people who have yet to be tried, yet to be convicted, yet to be sentenced.

Vaccination in N.S. jails expected 'within next week,' chief medical officer says

HALIFAX Nova Scotia s chief medical officer of health says inmates in the province s jails are expected to begin receiving their first doses of vaccine within the next week. Dr. Robert Strang said Monday that information on the procedures was being sent to corrections staff, as jails are considered priority locations during the province s expanded vaccine rollout. His comments followed a news release by advocacy groups noting a rise in the number of people in custody and saying prisoners have suffered due to indefinite lockdowns and solitary confinement caused by the pandemic. The provincial Justice Department said in an email that there are currently 383 people in custody, while earlier releases indicated that before the pandemic there were about 440 people detained.
