Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 16/04/2010 (5870 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Among the photos of the damage done during the Brandon Correctional Centre riot is a picture of a message apparently penned by Native Syndicate rioters outlining their complaints.
The note is scrawled on a pad with what appears to be pencil and one page states: "I’m speaking on behalf of NS, our issues are concerning living conditions."
Among their complaints — jail staff are disrespectful toward inmates, there’s a lack of recreational activities and inmates are being denied calls to lawyers and family.
The note also suggests there are 27 NS inmates being held in a range intended to house 12 inmates and that their requests for transfers have been denied.
