A week-long lockdown at a New Brunswick maximum security federal prison has been lifted.
Correctional Service Canada says normal operations resumed Wednesday at the Atlantic Institution in Renous, N.B., which was put under lockdown on June 24.
The federal agency says the lockdown was put in place to allow staff members to conduct an “exceptional search” as it works to strengthen anti-contraband measures.
Correctional Service Canada says the search led to the discovery of several unauthorized items.
