Background
Ferndale Institution is the former name of the minimum-security federal correctional annex of Mission Institution, now referred to as Mission Minimum Institution. It is located in Mission, British Columbia, in the central Fraser Valley, about 80 kilometres east of Vancouver. Ferndale opened in 1973 and can house up to 166 inmates, who live in residential-style units on a federal reserve shared with Mission Institution. The current Warden is Shawn Huish. Previous warden Ron Wiebe (deceased) was the founder of the "Restorative Justice" project, which brought together offenders, victims and their families for reconciliation/mediation.
