Alberta judge calls for public inquiry to answer questions about 2011 prison inmate death

A judge is calling for a public inquiry into an Edmonton inmate’s death, saying it’s the only way to get to the bottom of three guards’ actions that day amid concerns they were running a prison “fight club.”“A public inquiry may allow the commissioner to pierce the veil of prosecutorial discretion and garner information as to why Alberta Prosecution Services chose not to lay any charges (against the guards),” Justice Donna Groves said in her fatality report dated Jan. 31.
