The Algoma Treatment and Remand Centre (formerly Northern Treatment Centre) is a medium/maximum security prison located in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, Canada.[1] The entire centre has a capacity of 104 beds.[2]
Treatment Centre
As a Treatment Centre, it provides "specialized and intensive treatment for motivated offenders with clearly identified problems relating to substance abuse, sexual misconduct, impulse control and anger management."[3] The centre is divided into two sections, the treatment centre and the remand centre, which acts as the local correctional centre.
Incidents and deaths
In 2012, 3 hockey players including now NHL player Nick Cousins spent time in the treatment centre after their involvement in the gang-sexual assault of a local woman.
In the spring of 2014, an inmate died of a drug overdose in the centre. A coroner's inquest determined that the inmate died after consuming "crushed up oxycontin and chewing fentanyl from a patch". As corrections officers at the time were limited to a visible strip search and were unable to perform a cavity search, It was determined that the inmate had "hooped" the drugs and smuggled them into the prison.[4] [5]
In the Fall of 2018, ex-NHL player Theo Fleury visited the prison, to speak to inmates about healing in relation to his experiences with abuse, addictions and mental health. [6][7]
In January 2019, a riot broke out in the prison.[8]
