The senior corrections officer targeted in an alleged murder plot that sparked the Project South probe into police corruption defended his work at Toronto South Detention Centre in court Thursday in response to allegations that he oversaw abusive practices and threatened inmates.
The allegations come from current inmate Joshua James Malcolm-Evans, who has already pleaded guilty to gun-trafficking charges unrelated to the Project South investigation.
Malcolm-Evans has filed a Charter application arguing his rights have been violated by the jail, and he is looking for a shorter sentence or stay of proceedings in his case.
