Ferndale Institution is the former name of the minimum-security federal correctional annex of Mission Institution, now referred as Mission Minimum Institution. 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.〔Correctional Service of Canada Institutional Profiles, Retrieved March 31, 2010 from http://www.csc-scc.gc.ca/text/facilit/institutprofiles/ferndale-eng.shtml〕 The current warden is Barbara Van Vugt.〔Correctional Service of Canada National Facility Directory, Retrieved March 31, 2010 from http://www.csc-scc.gc.ca/text/region/nat-fac-dir-eng.shtml#pa3〕 Previous warden Ron Wiebe (deceased) was the founder of the "Restorative Justice" project, which brought together offenders, victims and their families for reconciliation/mediation.〔Correctional Service of Canada, Retrieved May 10, 2010 from http://csc-scc.gc.ca/text/rj/ronwiebe/info-eng.shtml〕 ==Inmates== Offenders housed at Ferndale are classified minimum security. Correctional Service Canada calls these Level II prisons. Most offenders have "cascaded" down from maximum, or medium security (levels IV or III). To reach minimum security there are strict guidelines that must be met. The Security Reclassification Scale is used to determine suitability for minimum security.〔Correctional Service of Canada - Reflections of a Warden (Ron Wiebe), Retrieved May 11, 2010 from http://csc-scc.gc.ca/text/pblct/ronwiebe/6-eng.shtml〕 Many Ferndale inmates are at pre-release status, meaning they are very close to reintegration into society. All required programming/expectations laid out in the offenders correctional plan, created on arrival in prison, must have been completed to reach this level. Institutional behavior must be stellar, and all drug tests negative. Other factors such as community support are also considered.〔Commissioner of Corrections Directives (Canada), Retrieved May 11, 2010 from http://csc-scc.gc.ca/text/plcy/cdshtm/700-cde-eng.shtml〕 In 2008 a directive from Ottawa was given to involuntarily transfer out of Ferndale all inmates with the "Dangerous Offender" (DO) classification to higher security prisons (medium or maximum) See case of Morgan Cooper v.
