The numbers have not altered significantly over the last 10 to 15 years. I will use the prairie region as an example, as it has the highest number of aboriginal citizens as well as the highest percentage of aboriginals incarcerated in our federal penitentiaries. Aboriginal inmates represent almost 43% of the federal population within that region. If you look at the maximum security population, they represent 56%. If you look at the minimum security population, where the majority of people are being released, they represent barely 30%.
So you have a significant gap there. As Mr. Sapers mentioned, the later someone is released in their sentence, the less chance they are going to have to access the programming on the street. And if they are on statutory release from a maximum security institution, then the chances are they received very little programming while inside.
