Federal healing lodges account for a considerable number of prison escapes, according to new data from the Correctional Service of Canada (CSC).
Over a span of four years, there were 56 recorded prison escapes, 43 percent of those having happened at healing lodges, according to a CSC report obtained by Blacklock’s Reporter. Among these incidents, one-fifth were at two Prairie locations: Willow Cree Healing Centre near Duck Lake, Saskatchewan, and Buffalo Sage Wellness House in Edmonton.
