\u0022Change needs to happen, and it starts with getting the proper mental health care for those that are incarcerated.\u0022
The sister of a 33-year-old man who died of suicide while on remand at the Saskatoon provincial jail says her family believes change is needed within the correctional system.
Jurors, who heard he was found unresponsive in his cell during an hourly cell check just over a month after his second suicide watch during his stay in remand, called on the ministry to implement changes including having an on-site nurse at all times, daily access to counsellors, and psychiatrist visits to the institution three times a week for four hours each day.
“Change needs to happen, and it starts with getting the proper mental health care for those that are incarcerated,” she said. “They are human beings and deserve to get the proper help. I know a lot of them have been through trauma, and services for that would go a long way.” Other recommendations from the jury included having screening for suicidality conducted by medical professionals and that any inmate released from a suicide watch have mandatory visits with a psychiatrist.
