Canada’s Correctional Investigator Ivan Zinger released another report detailing the overincarceration of Indigenous Peoples in Canada’s prisons. As the situation gets worse, Zinger highlighted why that might be during a press conference on Tuesday.

1/ Yesterday's Toronto Police race-based data release, showing disproportionate rates and impacts of violent policing on Black and Indigenous people is not new information. Years of delay and inaction mean that systems haven't changed: https://t.co/9yk2vR7k4e
