CBC News - Montreal - 25 men to move to Tanguay jail: "women's prison in Montreal will soon be host to 25 male inmates as a temporary solution to overcrowding in mens' prisons.
Quebec's ministry of public security invested $2.7 million in renovations to the Tanguay Jail to house the male inmates in a separate section of the prison.
Stephane Lemaire, president of the union representing the province's correctional workers, said that the workers accept this decision, but that it's not a sufficient solution.
Lemaire said that the government will build four more correctional facilities in Quebec, but the construction does not begin until 2012.
This will be the first time the jail housed any men since former Hells Angels boss, Maurice (Mom) Boucher, was held there almost 10 years ago.
The ministry relased a report stating that 11 of 18 provincial prisons are overpopulated, and Riviere-des Prairies detention centre is the worst. It is 94 prisoners over capacity."
