Inmates at Headingley Correctional Centre barricaded themselves into a unit in the institution’s main building Friday afternoon.
The disturbance started at about 2:30 p.m. after the unit went into lockdown and inmates resisted. Manitoba Justice officials say about 25 inmates are involved.
“At this time it is completely confined to a single unit of the facility,” said a Manitoba Justice spokeswoman. “The balance of the facility is secure at this time.”
As of Friday evening, the situation was continuing. The RCMP and Winnipeg Police Service are not involved.
