Footage has emerged from inside a Canadian COVID prison camp that shows a prisoner fighting with guards over the total lack of justice in the camp, saying they are refusing to confirm if he is even COVID positive.
“Calm down? [For] the third day — I don’t know when my flight is to get out of here. I’ve never committed a goddamn crime,” the prisoner begins, as he’s confronted by a swarm of guards and medical staff.
“No, you’re not a criminal,” the medical staff assures him. “That’s not illegal.”
“Then what the hell’s going on here,” the law-abiding inmate demands.

“I’ve had three tests. I have a right to know when my test is coming.”
Just then, another medical staff member spots the man recording the incident from a creak in his door, signalling an armed guard to shut it down.
“I want to be clear with you,” the first medical staffer says, trying to placate the law-abiding inmate.
“You don’t want to be clear with me,” he responds. “I’ve got shit food — and I’ve got no chance to say what I want. I’ve got an ugly sandwich today that makes me want to puke.”
“Come on, come on, you’re treating me crappy! You’re treating us all very poorly.”
Unfortunately, by this point, an armed guard approaches the video maker and shuffles him back into his room, ending the exposure.
While the footage appears to be taken from inside a converted hotel, how the facility is run is eerily similar to footage of Australian COVID camps that recently emerged, which shows medical staff making the rounds with armed guards in the background.
It isn’t clear if this facility, like the Australian facilities, is also surrounded by barbed-wire fences to keep the totally voluntary inmates from escaping.
