Supreme Court ruling targets Indigenous inmates in bias review
The Supreme Court of Canada sided with prisoner Jeffrey Ewert in a 7-2 decision, ordering the Correctional Service to review risk assessment tools for cultural bias or stop using them. The ruling calls for research into differential effects on Indigenous inmates and signals a broader examination of assessment practices. Ewert, Metis, has served over 30 years in federal facilities amid claims tools were unreliable for Indigenous offenders.
