After disturbance.... PR E Vol. 149 No. 16__Wednesday,_April 18, 1984 40- Everything is back to normal after what of- ficiais discribed as a "iminor" ' dsturbance closed the Whitby Jail for a few hours last week. According to jail superintendant Frank GIi, the disturbance began after security guards found that one of the main security win- dows had been eut away, last Tuesday night. Gi said that this could'mean one of two. things: either someone was planning to break out or someone else was planning to smuggle something in, most, probabiy narcoties. "We closed the in- stitutiondown and con- ducted a cell-to-cel serh"the superin- tendant said adding that this meant al inmates were returned to their celîs and no -one was aliowed to leave the Vic- toia St. W. facility. It was just after the search was begun that som e of the inmates became I"boisterous" and started heckling the gLiards on duty, Guil said when i nterviewed last Friday afternoon. Because of this, some of the inmates were- moved to other locations within the institution and were subsequentiy disciplined internally. "The institution returned to normal yesterday afternoon," Gili added. He aiso said that no guards were attacked, that there were no in- juries and that no con- traband was found. *The security window was also repaired.. The iast disturbance at the jail took place about 2½/, years ago. Approximately 115 people are incarcerated at the Whitby Jail. They are either awaiting trial or serving time. Gif also said that no criminal charges were laid in connection with the incident.
