‘We will do better’: Vancouver Island district to review prison break alerts

How Metchosin residents are alerted in the event of a prison break from the William Head Institution is under scrutiny.
“I think that Facebook and email just doesn’t cut it,” said Coun. Steve Gray at the July 13 council meeting, reflecting on the events following the escape of “dangerous” prisoner Ernest Egon Jensen last month.
In the hours after Jensen’s escape on June 28, an alert was posted on the Correctional Service of Canada’s (CSC) Facebook page.
