Upon an examination of the Canadian criminal justice system, it is unfortunately apparent
that the current institutions in place are ill-equipped at addressing the root problems of criminal

error, however, the undeniable reality is that prisons are excessively overfilled with people that are
First Nation, uneducated, homeless, unemployed, and have substance abuse issues.
