Federal inmates' risk assessments determine everything from where a prisoner is incarcerated to what rehabilitation programs they are offered. After controlling for a number of variables, The Globe found Black and Indigenous inmates are more likely to get worse scores than white inmates, based solely on their race

Really? Ask Joe Rogan where he falls on the issue! Fml

Getting closer each day to cancelling my Globe subscription I’ve had for decades. No coverage whatsoever of the NY Post story or Bobulinski bombshell interview on Biden family corruption. Instead we get this 2 days in a row...

Hi and TorontoRapsBR, how are you? I have great news for you: 130k Brazilian consumers ask cppinvestments to divest pagseguro if they don't stop profiting from hate speech and fake news' ✊🏽 BloqueiaPagSeguro

Bought and paid for. That’s what you are. Integrity you are not. Journalism has always been and will always been a discipline that has no respect

My brothers, I ask you to support me in the media and send this video to everyone to reveal the methods of the Saudi Arabia intelligence service and their use of the enormous capabilities of the state in hunting down activists abroad

WakeUp

If the laptop from hell is just 'Russian Disinformation' like Joe Biden says....why are neither Joe nor Hunter suing Hunter's long time friend and business partner, Tony Bobulinski, for defamation and libel after he confirmed it all and provided 3 cell phones of evidence?

The globe and Canadian media in general has already lost almost all credibility, between accepting government money, obvious ideological bias, and in general just shoddy, cheap, lazy “journalism”. We don’t believe you anymore. Sorry. Award yourselves any prizes you want.

In 2018, The Globe set out to determine how much of a role race plays in the scores used to build a risk assessment. The results of our statistical investigation – the first done at this depth – are striking.

What about if they commit more crimes Misleading inferences as to causation!!

It sure is!

When are you going to cover the reality of WSIB , how it steals hard earned CPP, pays less than minimum wage, how it has no accountability, and how it ruins lives? CBCNews Phantom Jobs & Empty Pockets:

It's pretty simple. Don't commit crime.

Thanks capt obvious

Crime is a crime. Can you put skin color aside? Why Asians are not against by prison system?

One sure way to avoid being subjected to prison bias....

You do the crime, you do the time. Maybe, just maybe, society is stacked against a disproportionate level of crime from these communities?

Stop breaking the law! Simple

Tough to feel anything for a man who violently stabbed another man to death and served his full 12 years for it. The murderer is the lucky one, not the REAL victim.
