According to Statistics Canada, Aboriginal males are overrepresented in Canada's prison system. In 2018, they represented 28% of the total inmate population, while only making up 5% of the Canadian adult male population. Furthermore, Aboriginal males are more likely to receive longer sentences and be classified as higher-risk offenders. This suggests that Seth, as an Aboriginal male, is the most likely to be sentenced to custody in a prison in Canada.
