A B.C. nurse is under investigation for allegedly trafficking prescription drugs to inmates in a maximum security prison in the province, court documents show.
A petition filed by the B.C. College of Nurse and Midwives (BCCNM) and obtained by CBC News, said the nurse was working at Kent Institution, B.C.’s only maximum security prison, located in Agassiz. In late 2021, the Correctional Service of Canada (CSC) began investigating “discrepancies” in the nurse’s handling of medication, the petition said.
