A coroner's inquest in Toronto into the case of two men who burned to death in a northern Ontario reserve jail-house fire is wrapping up.
Murray Klippenstein, a lawyer for the Kashechewan First Nation, says the decrepit jail would have been unacceptable in Toronto or any other non-aboriginal community in the country.
Police tried to free the two men but could not unlock their cells and had to flee, leaving them to die in January 2006.
