Stony Mountain Institution has been placed in lockdown after three inmates were assaulted on Thursday night. The Correctional Service of Canada said in a statement that staff at the prison found three injured inmates Thursday around 7:40 p.m. inside the medium security unit. Meyer said the lockdown will likely be lifted in the coming days after a thorough search of the premises has been completed. Inmates are confined to their cells and can only leave if they are escorted by a staff member. Meyer is not sure if the weapons found in the area were used in the assault, which involved several inmates.
