Death of an inmate from Archambault Institution 

On September 7, 2022, André Bélanger, an inmate at Archambault Institution, died while in our custody.

At the time of death, the offender had been serving an initial three-year sentence since June 6, 2007 for offences of sexual assault, sexual exploitation and failure to comply with a probation order.

As in all cases involving the death of an inmate, the Correctional Service of Canada (CSC) will review the circumstances. CSC policy requires the coroner be notified.
