BRITISH COLUMBIA, CANADA, AUG 7 – The court found the transfer to medium security unreasonable due to lack of clear evidence and ordered Willis returned to minimum security prison.
- The B.C. Supreme Court ruled on August 7, 2025, that Treyvonne Willis must return from medium to minimum-security prison in British Columbia.

- The order to return Willis to minimum security highlights the court's emphasis on fair assessment and appropriate security levels based on clear findings and inmate rights.
