The Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada will visit the Kenora Jail to hear from Aboriginal inmates this week.
A statement from Chair Justice Murray Sinclair says correctional institutions house a disproportionately high number of Aboriginal inmates and the comission wants to ensure they have the opportunity to be heard regarding the impact Residential Schools have had on their lives.
Aboriginal inmates make up 92 per cent of the prison population of the Kenora Jail.
