Know Your Rights

Know Your Rights, 2026 is a practical guide for Indigenous people who are or have been incarcerated in Newfoundland and Labrador’s provincial correctional system. Written in plain language, it explains your rights relating to Gladue, access to Indigenous cultural programming, and the legal protections that may apply when those rights are denied. It also outlines practical steps you can take to advocate for yourself, seek legal assistance, and connect with Indigenous organizations that may be able to support you.
