RCMP reopen investigation into Dorchester Pen inmate death

RCMP have reopened their investigation into the death of a Dorchester Pen inmate after new information came out.  Cape Bretoner Matthew Hines was pepper sprayed four times after refusing to return to his cell last year.  A panel found the use of force was inappropriate, noting the 33-year-old was “under sufficient control of the staff” at the time.  Correctional Service Canada has now fired one staffer and disciplined three others.
