More than 150 inmates have been improperly released from Ontario’s jails over several years, a problem that Premier Doug Ford called “unacceptable” on Wednesday.
Global News unearthed government documents through freedom-of-information laws that show the province mistakenly released 157 inmates between 2021 and 2025.
Those documents say the majority of errors were made at the jails and in court, some were administrative while others were human error.
