Prison to put sensitive mail in envelopes after document intercepted

An inmate at Kent Institution complained after a 10-page National Parole Board decision containing graphic details of his offence was intercepted and circulated among other inmates. The document was supposed to be delivered via internal mail but was only folded and stapled, not placed in an envelope. Prison officials acknowledged the breach and launched an investigation, which confirmed the document was viewed by various inmates. The OPC's investigation found that the disclosure violated the Privacy Act. As a result, the warden implemented changes to ensure confidential documents are now placed in sealed envelopes.
