More than 100 members of the Union of Canadian Correctional Officers (UCCO) protested in Abbotsford on Thursday (April 18) to bring attention to the increase in violence at correctional facilities.
The demonstration was held outside CSC’s Pacific regional headquarters.
John Randle, president of the UCCO’s Pacific region, told Black Press Media that in his 15 years as a correctional officer, he has never seen the violence rise to such a level.
