Sask. auditor’s report flags issues around administrative segregation at correctional facilities
It noted that 20 inmate files on administrative segregation were reviewed in 2021, with three assessments being completed by inappropriate staff, and one assessment not documenting the reason for administrative segregation or the alternatives considered.
“Not having appropriate staff completing and approving administrative segregation placement decisions increases the risk that inmates may be placed on administrative segregation inappropriately,” the report read. The report said 20 inmate files were tested and found that some health-care assessments weren’t completed, or they were done three to seven days after the fact.
