Almost half of Ontario's jails are holding more prisoners than they were designed for.Inspector Kevin Glenister says many inmates in the region end up at the Kenora Jail.
Glenister suggests the situation locally might not be as bad because a few years ago the Kenora Jail closed it's youth facility and says that's freed up more space for the adult population.
Glenister says all prisoners under 18-years-old either go to another facility in Kenora, Thunder Bay or Sault Ste. Marie.
