Justice Minister Cliff Cullen has released a statement on the Dauphin correctional centre.
He said that the decision to close the jail was not made lightly and that the priority of the department has been the employees and families.
He adds that he wants to commend the staff at DCC and across the correctional system for continuing to serve the province and the people in their custody.
He says that he is happy with the finalized agreement with the employees union to offer employment to all staff who wish to remain working for the Manitoba government.
