Since 2021, more than 150 people have been mistakenly released from jails across Ontario, internal government documents revealed to Global News. And this is an issue that first came to the province’s solicitor general, Michael Kerzner, more than a year ago.

Asked how Kerzner’s delay on getting “to the bottom” of the errors is acceptable Thursday, Ontario Premier Doug Ford told our Colin D’Mello it was “unacceptable.”

“There has to be accountability. I’m getting down the root cause, and we’re not going to let one more person slip out of the door. It’s unheard of. And I’m absolutely furious over it, to be honest with you,” Ford said.

This revelation led to scathing blowback at Queen’s Park from critics who claimed the government wasn’t adequately protecting the province and a rare admission from the minister in charge of Ontario’s prison system.

“How do you get people mixed up? Like, you’ve got to be kidding me. It’s ridiculous… I am on this like no tomorrow,” Ford added.
