Thomas Jack was attacked by his cellmate Jeremy David in November 2011 and will never work and drive again due to the impact of his injuries.
Mike Davidson of CUPE tells Tide News they have concerns about the current management at the provincial jail on the Old Black River road.
He says under the current management they have had a riot, an assault on an inmate and the early release of an inmate involved in a homicide.
Davidson calls overcrowding a serious issue and they haven't been too successful with the province on resolving it.
Our newsroom has an interview request into Public Safety Minister Robert Trevors for his take on things.
