Experts call for better supports after a Saskatchewan woman died following release from prison
Last month, 34-year-old Kimberly Squirrel was found frozen to death in Saskatchewan, three days after she was released from prison.

We speak with Aleida Oberholzer, a criminal defence lawyer in Saskatoon; Patti Pettigrew, executive director and founder of Thunder Woman Healing Lodge Society in Toronto; and Sen. Kim Pate, former executive director of the Canadian Association of Elizabeth Fry Societies.
