Correctional Service Canada
On May 15, 2026, a lockdown was put in place at Springhill Institution, a medium security federal institution to facilitate a search of the institution and ensure the safety and security of the institution, its staff, and inmates.
Visits have been suspended until the search is completed. Normal operations will resume as soon as it is considered safe to do so.
The Correctional Service of Canada (CSC) is committed to preventing the entry of contraband and unauthorized items into its institutions. CSC works in partnership with the police to take action against those who attempt to introduce contraband into correctional institutions.
