We meet Dr. Beverly Jacobs in this episode, a specialist in indigenous law and a champion of Indigenous legal rights. She is all too familiar with the bias that is inherent in every aspect of our criminal justice system. We'll spend some time with her, and Dr. Ivan Zinger, exploring how indigenous folks fare in the correctional system vs. their white brethren, and what we should be doing about it.
