Summary

Three recent cases of inmates being mistakenly released from custody have raised questions about how often these errors happen and whether they're becoming a bigger concern. Doug King, justice studies professor at Mount Royal University, joins Evan to help us understand how these mistakes happen, what safeguards are in place and what impact this has on public confidence.
