Correctional Service Canada has hired its first female Muslim prison guard, who will wear a hijab specially designed for the dangerous institutional setting, QMI Agency has learned.
Corrections confirmed Friday the recruit is now on her second week of a nine-week training program in Ontario and will be placed as a guard in a men's federal penitentiary when she's done.
Efforts are also underway to obtain equipment such as a breathing apparatus that works with the hijab.
Corrections and the employee have also established a mutual understanding about physical contact with men, which is prohibited in the Muslim faith.
"During exercises, she is wearing gloves and a long-sleeved shirt so that she doesn't have to have contact with males in that situation," Andrews said, "but she is fully aware that in an institutional environment, there may come a time when she does have to have skin-to-skin contact with males. She is aware of that."
The employee has also worked with Corrections to develop a schedule for prayers during break times that respects her religious requirements while also fulfilling the expectations of the rigorous training program.
