192 Ontario jail deaths in just eight years. What can be done?

Guests: Justin Piché, University of Ottawa A landmark report from the Ontario Chief Coroner's Office has revealed there were almost 200 inmate deaths in Ontario jails in just eight years, almost all of which were preventable.

Justin Piché, associate professor in the Department of Criminology at University of Ottawa, joins "This Matters" to discuss. This episode was produced by Saba Eitizaz, Brian Bradley and Paolo Marques.
