Provincial data shows three out of four of Saskatchewan’s adult provincial jails have been overcapacity since September, but none more so than the only women’s jail, Pine Grove Correctional Centre.
The Saskatoon Correctional Centre, with a capacity of 507, reported slight overcapacity on the days tracked, and the Prince Albert Correctional Centre, with a capacity of 496, was overcapacity only on the first day of September, October and December. The ministry declined to provide specifics of the contingency spaces, citing security and privacy reasons.The Elizabeth Fry Society of Saskatchewan has been monitoring it, especially in the fall of 2022, acting executive director Sydney Wouters said in an email this week. Pine Grove’s inmate count is often at around 190 women, so when it started to reach 240, the advocacy organization was concerned.
