P-1324

On February 29, 1996, there was a disturbance at the Bluewater Youth Centre (Bluewater) which occurred during a strike of prison guards. This facility is operated by the Ministry of the Solicitor General and Correctional Services (the Ministry). As a result of this occurrence, the Ministry transferred a number of young offenders to other provincial institutions, one of which was the Elgin Middlesex Detention Centre (Elgin Middlesex).

Several of the individuals who were sent to Elgin Middlesex subsequently claimed that they had been mistreated by staff at this facility. The Ministry requested that the Office of Child and Family Services Advocacy (the Advocacy Office) undertake an investigation of both incidents. On May 30, 1996, the Advocacy Office provided its report to the Ministry.
