Correctional Service Canada (CSC) has implemented a lockdown on a unit at Dorchester Penitentiary in New Brunswick to conduct what it describes as an 'exceptional search.' The medium-security facility, located approximately 30 kilometers southeast of Moncton, has heightened security protocols as authorities carry out the operation. CSC officials have not disclosed the specific reasons for the search or the duration of the lockdown, citing operational security concerns. The move comes as part of routine measures to ensure the safety and security of staff, inmates, and the public. Further details are expected to be released once the search is completed.
