Algoma Treatment and Remand Centre

[4] As a Treatment Centre, it provides "specialized and intensive treatment for motivated offenders with clearly identified problems relating to substance abuse, sexual misconduct, impulse control and anger management.

In 2012, 3 hockey players including now NHL player Nick Cousins spent time in the treatment centre after their involvement in the gang-sexual assault of a local woman.

A coroner's inquest determined that the inmate died after consuming "crushed up oxycontin and chewing fentanyl from a patch".

As corrections officers at the time were limited to a visible strip search and were unable to perform a cavity search, It was determined that the inmate had "hooped" the drugs and smuggled them into the prison.

[6] [7] In the Fall of 2018, ex-NHL player Theo Fleury visited the prison, to speak to inmates about healing in relation to his experiences with abuse, addictions and mental health.
