Forty inmates board a plane at Iqaluit’s airport on Friday, June 22, on their way to facilities in southern Canada. Iqaluit lacks the capacity to house the inmates, following an overnight riot at the Baffin Correctional Centre that seriously damaged one of the jail’s cellblocks. Nunavut’s Justice Department says no other major movements of inmates are planned at this point. (PHOTO BY BETH BROWN)
