Progress continues on expanding the Drumheller Institution, which could see over 250 extra spaces added to the federal penitentiary.
Construction on several new buildings is expected to be complete over the course of 2014.
“Work continues on the construction of a new medium-security living unit within Drumheller Institution’s perimeter. In addition, Drumheller Institution’s minimum security annex will also be expanded. These projects also include construction of one generic building inside the institutional perimeter and one outside the institutional perimeter,” said Jeff Campbell, regional communications manager for Corrections Canada.
The new medium security living unit and minimum security expansion will result in 96 and 50 additional accommodations.
