In Canada, over 80 percent of the men in prisons are native.
That sounds quite unbelievable and a cursory search shows that it's a highly
unlikely assertion fpr the entire country:
http://www.prisonjustice.ca/politics/facts_stats.html
Aboriginal Adults (2005-2006)
a.. 4% of the total canadian adult population - (2006 Census)
b.. 24% of admissions to provincial/territorial sentenced custody
c.. 18% of admissions to federal prisons
d.. 19% of admissions to remand
e.. 21% of male prisoner population
f.. 30% of female prisoner population
Maybe you have a different source of information or you're talking about
particular provinces and not all of Canadian prisoners . . .
