Message escaped
Ridge Meadows RCMP didn’t release informa-
tion about a prisoner who escaped from Fraser Re-
gional Correctional Centre on the weekend until
three days after it happened.
Ajit Singh climbed a 3.5-metre-high fence at the
prison on 256th Street and ran away through a for-
est at noon on Saturday.
As of yesterday, he hadn’t been caught.
No wonder.
No matter who the inmate is, the protocol should
be the same when an inmate escapes, and part of
that should be to immediately notify the public, if
not to warn people for their own safety, then so
they can be aware, looking to help provide infor-
mation leading to the capture of a fugitive.
Residents have the right to be alerted.
To wait 74 hours to notify them is negligent.
It also shows cracks in the system, like the email
mix-up that led to the escape of three inmates on a
work crew in December.
But it’s difficult to blame the guards when there
are 525 inmates, as on Saturday, in a prison built
for 253. Temporary tent structures erected to help
with overcrowding while the prison undergoes ex-
pansion are now overcrowded themselves. They
were built to hold 52 inmates, but had 85 stuffed in
them when Singh snuck off, with only two guards
watching.
Slips such as these compromise confidence in
the justice system.
We don’t know who all these inmates are.
We’re continually told that they pose no risk to
the public, whether working at the fish hatchery
or the Albion Fairgrounds.
But then inmates keep walking away from these
crews and climbing fences to escape.
We hear about drugs in the prison, and inmates
dying in the prison, and riots at the prison.
