Update: July 6, 5:06 p.m.

The province confirmed a woman who was mistakenly released from a North Battleford correctional facility in March is back behind bars.

The Regina Police Service said they arrested Keleisha Jackson, who is now being held at Pine Grove Correctional Centre in Prince Albert.

Jackson, 26, was previously arrested for charges related to assault and confinement.

A woman who was mistakenly released from a North Battleford correctional facility three months ago has been reported unlawfully at large, the Ministry of Community Safety said.

Keleisha Jackson, 26, was released from custody on March 19 following what officials described as an administrative error at the Saskatchewan Hospital North Battleford Integrated Correctional Facility, according to a public notice issued Friday.

“Jackson is currently facing charges related to assault and confinement.” 

The notice said Jackson is not believed to pose a risk to public safety, but police are seeking information about her whereabouts.

“Immediately report any sightings of Jackson to police.”

She is described as five-foot-three and 130 pounds, with brown eyes and brown hair.

The Regina Police Service and RCMP have been notified.

Anyone who has seen Jackson or has information on her whereabouts is asked to contact police or their local RCMP detachment.
