Published purpose
The Métis Nation of Ontario Bail Program seeks to generate avenues for early interventions for Indigenous peoples including women, girls, and 2SLGBTQQIA+ (Two-Spirit, Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Questioning, Intersex, and Asexual+) persons. Through the creation of culturally appropriate reintegration plans, training and supporting Indigenous bail workers, this project will increase the release of Indigenous accused from remand centers. This project will also provide an alternative to incarceration for participants and will help to decrease the overrepresentation of Indigenous peoples within remand centers and the criminal justice system at large, while also decreasing court processing times thereby increasing access to justice.
