Registry File # 040859

Kamloops Provincial Court

Filed November 18 for events between August 15 and September 18

An inmate at Kamloops Regional Correctional Centre is suing the warden and a supervisor, claiming he was victimized by other inmates and subsequently developed a serious infection requiring surgery.

Ronald Teneycke filed a lawsuit in small claims court, declaring that he required two separate emergency surgeries due to abusive conduct by the officials. He is claiming the maximum $25,000.

Named in the notice of claim are warden Evan Vike and supervisor Devin Pageau.

His claim alleges that, on Aug. 25, the supervisor at Kamloops Regional Correctional Centre used his authority wrongly, “which ultimately led to the claimant being seriously physically harmed [by other inmates] that required two separate emergency surgeries (August 20th and Sepember 16th) at the Royal Inland Hospital.”

Teneycke further alleges his wound became infected after his first surgery when Pageau placed him in “a filthy area of the institution.” Teneycke says he can supply video  of the filthy area called ‘obs’ where he had to eat off the floor.

Teneycke alleges the infection required a second surgery for an abdominal infection

Nothing has been tried in a court. His allegations not tested.
