Black people's situation in Canadian prisons just as bad or worse 10 years after investigation: report
by from on (#65CX9)
"Today, I am releasing an update of the Office's 2013 groundbreaking investigation looking into the experiences of Black prisoners under federal custody. I am very disappointed to report that the same systemic concerns and barriers identified nearly a decade ago, including discrimination, stereotyping, racial bias and labelling of Black prisoners, remain as pervasive and persistent as before. In fact, the situation for Black people behind bars in Canada today is as bad, and, in some respects, worse than it was in 2013."
