The centre offers grief counseling to the family members of prisoners' deceased victims.[2] On October 26, 1977, approximately 20 inmates took a prison officer hostage with a knife, but released him peacefully the next day.[3] A prison riot at Prince George Regional Correctional Centre on April 26, 1983 led to ten prisoners being transferred to VIRCC.[4] A prison riot at VIRCC in January 1985 led to 37 prisoners appearing before a disciplinary review board.[5] On March 26, 2005, five inmates were charged with mischief after having together caused between $40,000 and $50,000 worth of damage to a living unit at the centre.[6] In September 2006, David Johnston, a homeless man imprisoned at the VIRCC due to repeated sleeping on Beacon Hill Park and St. Ann's Academy property, went on a hunger strike to fight for the right to sleep outdoors and was supported by other homeless people who created a tent city.[7] On February 22, 2007, inmate Wayne Allan Turner was found dead in the centre, hanging from a fire sprinkler head.[8] British Columbia Government and Service Employees' Union sheriff services component chairman Dean Purdy stated in March 2010 that there had been 63 assaults on the centre's guards by inmates since 2003 when the jail became overcrowded due to the closing of nine other British Columbia jails.[9] An attempted prison escape by two prisoners was foiled in July 2011.[10] References1. ^{{Cite journal|journal=Times Colonist|date=May 1, 2007|title=Jailhouse ruckus trial underway|url=http://www.canada.com/victoriatimescolonist/news/capital_van_isl/story.html?id=a038fe6a-b448-454e-95f3-6ce15bb44fda|accessdate=March 12, 2013}} {{coord|48|28|57|N|123|24|37|W|scale:10000|display=title}}2. ^{{Cite journal|journal=Times Colonist|author=Louise Dickson|date=February 13, 2013|title=Mom of teen killed in crash testifies at dangerous driving trial about pain of losing her son|url=http://www.timescolonist.com/news/local/mom-of-teen-killed-in-crash-testifies-at-dangerous-driving-trial-about-pain-of-losing-her-son-1.73731|accessdate=March 12, 2013}} 3. ^{{Cite journal|journal=Edmonton Journal|title=Inmates free guard in hostage drama|date=October 27, 1977|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=3iJlAAAAIBAJ&sjid=PogNAAAAIBAJ&pg=2960,3505323&dq=vancouver-island-regional-correctional-centre&hl=en|accessdate=March 12, 2013}} 4. ^{{Cite journal|journal=Calgary Herald|title=Jail riot teaches officials a lesson|page=A9|date=April 27, 1983}} 5. ^{{Cite journal|journal=The Vancouver Sun|title=37 to answer for island jail riot|date=January 30, 1985|page=C8}} 6. ^{{Cite journal|journal=Times Colonist|date=May 3, 2007|title=Jury sees video evidence of mayhem inside jail|url=http://www.canada.com/victoriatimescolonist/news/story.html?id=db3569b6-14c8-48a2-9a8c-d1b6f714b8ae&k=46270|accessdate=March 12, 2013}} 7. ^{{Cite journal|journal=Times Colonist|date=August 4, 2006|title=Protester on prison hunger strike|url=http://www.canada.com/vancouversun/news/story.html?id=685d4271-880a-40e2-b96c-3754c2d7cf87&k=44071|accessdate=March 12, 2013}} 8. ^{{Cite journal|journal=Times Colonist|date=February 1, 2008|title=Death prompted sprinkler-head changes|url=http://www.canada.com/vancouversun/news/story.html?id=0e349eca-7f5c-4435-8523-a2d0889ce6b4&k=40840|accessdate=March 12, 2013}} 9. ^{{Cite journal|journal=The Vancouver Sun|date=March 17, 2010|title=Guard in hospital after assault by prisoner|url=http://www.canada.com/vancouversun/news/westcoastnews/story.html?id=b4d07f35-0068-4eb0-9f94-801c227bb35d|accessdate=March 12, 2013}} 10. ^{{Cite journal|journal=Saanich News|title=Alert guards prevent 'movie-like' escape from Vancouver Island Regional Correctional Centre|author=Kyle Slavin|date=July 21, 2011|url=http://www.saanichnews.com/news/125990428.html|accessdate=March 12, 2013}} 2 : Prisons in British Columbia|Saanich, British Columbia |
