Seizures of contraband and unauthorized items at Drummond Institution
DRUMMONDVILLE, QC, June 13, 2025 /CNW/ - On May 26 and June 4, 2025, as a result of the vigilance of staff members, packages containing contraband and unauthorized items were seized at Drummond Institution, a medium security federal institution. The contraband and unauthorized items seized included methamphetamine, marijuana, cannabis concentrate, tobacco and a cellphone with SIM cards. The total estimated institutional value of these seizures is $256,750. The Correctional Service of Canada (CSC) uses a number of tools to prevent drugs from entering its institutions. These tools include ion scanners and drug-detector dogs to search buildings, personal property, inmates, and visitors. The CSC is heightening measures to prevent contraband from entering its institutions in order to help ensure a safe and secure environment for everyone. CSC also works in partnership with the police to take action against those who attempt to introduce contraband into correctional institutions. CSC has also set up a telephone tip line for all federal institutions so that it may receive additional information about activities relating to security at CSC institutions. These activities may be related to drug use or trafficking that may threaten the safety and security of visitors, inmates, and staff members working at CSC institutions. The toll-free number, 1‑866‑780‑3784, helps ensure that the information shared is protected and that callers remain anonymous.

Stony Mountain inmate, 80, dies
A Stony Mountain Institution inmate died of apparent natural causes while in custody Saturday, the Correctional Service of Canada said. Gordon Kornelson, 80, was sentenced to four years on May 5. The Carillon newspaper in Steinbach reported in April that he had pleaded guilty to sexually assaulting a relative for eight years starting when she was about four years old, between Jan. 1, 2012 and Jan. 31, 2020. The abuse ended when the COVID-19 pandemic prevented her visits to Kornelson's home, the Carillon reported. The girl's mother reported the crime in June 2022 after her daughter told her what had happened. Judge Kael McKenzie granted the victim's request that there be no publication ban in the case and called the sentence low. The defence, pointing to Kornelson's declining health, had asked for his sentence to be served under house arrest. Kornelson worked as a loans manager at Steinbach Credit Union for 29 years until 1995, court documents stated, and then worked as an accountant. He served on the board of the Steinbach Mennonite Central Committee Thrift Shop from 1974 to 2019. An online obituary stated Kornelson was formerly a longtime Hanover School Division trustee and that he died in a Winnipeg hospital. DAVE BAXTER / CARILLON FILES
