I read in your report that there's a bias in the classification system that says aboriginal people will go into medium and maximum security prisons more often than non-aboriginal people. When you get into those institutions, there's less programming so that people can reintegrate back into the communities. At the end of the day, we're not supposed to put people in prison and throw away the key. They're supposed to do their time in accordance with the law and the sentences that were handed down, but our job is to make sure that we have healing, that we have people reintegrated into their communities so that they become contributors to their communities. It's important in aboriginal communities as well as anywhere else in the country.
