Abstract:

:

Criminal justice reform in the context of indigenous peoples in Canada has been motivated by both their over-representation at each stage of the administration of justice and their extreme cultural, social and political dislocation. The extent to which reforms can overcome institutionalised colonial practices is challenged by the experiences of Inuit inmates in Nunavut. It is argued that the correctional response to indigenous people in Canada is largely rhetorical and has led to few meaningful changes to the lives of Inuit inmates.
