Inmates say dangerous conditions inside understaffed Nova Scotia jail violate rights
But the courts have consistently ruled that lockdowns triggered by a lack of staff cannot be addressed via habeas corpus, even if some judges acknowledge they arrived at the conclusion reluctantly.

“A new staffer might come in, see the conditions in the Burnside facility, and decide not to stay,” she said, adding a tight labour market means workers are “in the driver’s seat” and have options to work in many sectors.The province, she added, might have to look at the wages offered to correctional workers in order to entice new staff and retain the current workers. “I think there’s some hard work to do behind the scenes,” she said.
