Natives hurt more by prison crowding - Winnipeg Free Press: Manitoba aboriginals are the hardest hit due to the overcrowding at federal prisons on the Prairies, Canada's correctional investigator says.
From 2010 to 2011, the number of federal inmates jumped by 1,000 -- with 51 per cent of that increase in the Prairie region -- and 43 per cent of those were aboriginal offenders.
"There's been a very disproportionate increase across the Prairies," said Howard Sapers, correctional investigator of Canada. "There is an impact that has been felt in Manitoba."
