How Indigenous deaths in custody happen
There's an ugly pattern that's fuelling Australia's latest Black Lives Matter marches: the high rate of Indigenous deaths in custody. Australia's Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population is the most incarcerated group of people in any country, anywhere in the world, according to some researchers. So how did it get to be like this? And why, by some measures, are things getting worse? Today on The Signal, we take a closer look at Australia’s record on incarcerating Indigenous people. And we hear one proposal that might make Australia fairer. Featured: Dr Hannah McGlade, Senior Indigenous Research Fellow, Faculty of Humanities, Curtin University, Perth
