In this episode of Perspectives, we are delighted to share an interview with Hazel Miron, Senior Investigator with Canada’s Office of the Correctional Investigator.

During a career spanning three decades, Hazel has worked both within detention facilities and now as a detention monitor.

Hazel is a proud Cree woman and a member of the Sucker Creek First Nation. She uses her indigenous knowledge and culture to connect with and support indigenous women and men deprived of liberty.

She is also a strong advocate for reforming detention policies and approaches to better reflect the needs and experiences of indigenous peoples.
