Ontario correctional facilities operating at 130% capacity as overcrowding worsens

From Global News.

Ontario’s jails are running vastly above capacity, according to new data, which shows the oversubscribed corrections system is in a worse place than it was just two years ago.

80 per cent of the correctional institutions tracked by the province are overloaded – many by *massive* margins.

Global’s Nicole Di Donato breaks down the numbers and has reaction.
