Manitoba won’t be getting their prison farm back anytime soon.

The federal government has announced they are opening two federal prison farms in Ontario at a cost of four million dollars.

There are currently no plans to reopen Manitoba's Rockwood farm.

Rockwood Institution was a minimum-security facility at Stony Mountain located north of Winnipeg.

It was a dairy operation, primarily.

The farm prisons were shut down back in 2010.
