Chapter 2 examines the historical, political, and societal factors that drive Indigenous over-incarceration. It focuses on the impacts of colonialism and more specifically on residential schools and how they resulted in many Indigenous Peoples suffering stresses such as poverty, poor mental health, racial discrimination, and intergenerational domestic and sexual violence at a much higher rate than the general population. The chapter explores topics such as colonization, prison abolition, racialized policing and systems within Canada, racial inequality, and more.
