About this episode
A CBC investigation recently found there are thousands more people behind bars in Ontario jails than just a few years ago. But the number of jail beds has remained the same. This is all happening while federal and provincial politicians are discussing new bail reform legislation -- changes that could lead to a further influx of accused people being incarcerated. The CBC's Julie Ireton brings us her documentary "Catch 22."
