Lockdowns at two prisons in the Quinte Area are expected to continue for a few more days.
Prisoners at Millhaven Institution have been confined to their cells since a staff member found an unidentified weapon in one of the ranges in the assessment unit on Monday.
Assistant Warden Wendy Smith says all visits and regular programs are also suspended through the weekend, while all the cells are checked.
Warkworth Institution Assistant Warden Anne Anderson says the lockdown, in effect since about 200 prisoners protested on July 21st, and one of them died, will also remain in effect until at least early next week.
