B.C. Premier David Eby has decided the escalating toxic drug crisis
warrants forcing those who are severely addicted and mentally ill into
involuntary care.
The first of these secure facilities will open soon after minimal
renovations on the grounds of the Alouette Correctional Centre in
Maple Ridge. Eby said a total of more than 400 beds will open in
hospitals across B.C. by modernizing 280 outdated beds and creating
more than 140 new ones, with more to come.
All of the facilities will provide involuntary care under the B.C.
Mental Health Act for people certified as requiring that care, said
Eby at a news conference outside Vancouver City Hall on Sunday.
The premier said treatment beds will open inside prisons, too,
starting with 10 beds inside the Surrey Pretrial Centre.
