Cor-Spec-Ops - Official Gateway to the Corrections Special Ops Community

 A ruckus at the Gatineau Detention Centre on Thursday prompted prison officials to place several inmates in isolation to contain the situation.

At least three fires were lit by inmates during a change of shift by corrections officers, officials say. But damage was limited.

The union representing the guards said the detention centre is becoming a dangerous place of employment because of increased drug trafficking concerns and the influence of street gangs.
