Disparity in our justice system? Author, Annette Vermette of her latest book, "Overrepresented" writes about her research as to statistically Indigenous women are arrested more frequently than those in other demographics with longer prison sentences. Why is this? She concludes with the possibility that Indigenous Women might be Profit Makers for the Judicial System. Her book is causing a stir and discussion. Can we as Canadians or as American's possibly look at what Norway is doing to help their vulnerable population to heal and then to achieve better lives.
