With a strike or lock-out looming involving correction workers, Nickel Belt’s M-P-P wanted to see first hand the conditions at the Sudbury Jail.

France Gelinas took a tour of the facility today and was shocked at what she saw.

Gelinas says it’s not a good environment for the workers or the inmates.

Tensions were high at the jail this past weekend after a fire and concerns that an edged weapon had made it into the prison population.

Correction officers, probation and parole officers and all members of OPSEU Local 617 will be in a legal strike or lockout position this Saturday.
