B.C. guards fired, supervisors reinstated
following violent altercation with inmate
A BRITISH COLUMBIA arbitrator has upheld
the termination of two correctional officers for their
role in a violent incident with an inmate but has rein-
stated another three with suspensions in place of
dismissal.
Fraser Regional Correctional Centre (FRCC)
houses adult male inmates serving sentences up to
two years less a day. On Sept. 18, 2017, there was an
incident in the unit for inmates with mental health
needs. An inmate physically attacked a correctional
officer and the other officer assigned to the unit
called a "code yellow staff assault," which summoned
other officers.
The inmate threw a punch at the first officer, who
was able to push the inmate to the floor, place his
knee on the inmate, and handcuff his right hand. He
was unable to apply the second cuff and the struggle
continued as four more officers arrived at the scene.
