An inquest into the deaths of two men in a jail on a northern Ontario reserve is calling on Ottawa and Ontario to shut down all unsafe holding cells.
The inquest was held in Toronto following the deaths of Ricardo Wesley and Jamie Goodwin on the Kashechewan First Nation.
The men, both in their early 20's, were trapped in their cells as flames tore through the jail in January 2006.
The inquest jury also says First Nations deserve the same level of policing services as non-aboriginal communities.
