Stony Mountain Institution (STAN MILOSEVIC / CHRISD.CA FILE)
Stony Mountain Institution’s medium and maximum security units went into lockdown on Monday so staff could conduct a general search.
The search of the jail just north of Winnipeg was ordered to ensure the safety and security of the institution, its staff and inmates.
In a statement, Correctional Services of Canada says normal operations will resume as soon as it is considered safe to do so.
Visits have been suspended until the search is completed.
