For the second time in three days, an inmate has died at the Drumheller Institution.
Correctional Service Canada says 25-year-old Brandon Lee Mirva died Tuesday inside the medium-security prison.
Mirva had been serving a two-year sentence for drug-related offenses, including possession for the purpose of trafficking.
The cause of the death is under investigation.
It comes only days after the death of a 29-year-old inmate.
Officials say they are conducting a review, as they would with any death of an inmate in their custody.
