One of the things I think you've implicitly suggested yourself is that we need to be looking at other measures as well. As we know, different provinces and territories are looking at things like guaranteed livable incomes. There are many people in prison because they're poor, and they're trying to negotiate poverty. There are many people in prison who are reacting to violence perpetrated against them. There are many people in prison who are self-represented and can't afford lawyers. There are many people in prison who have not been protected and have essentially been deputized to protect themselves.
