## Resource

Two inmates died within days in BC prisons, sparking fresh scrutiny over justice and safety behind bars. Daniel Dow, 68, a repeat violent sexual offender with ties to the unsolved 1993 disappearance of Sherri McLaughlin, died at Mission Institution. Just two days later, 65-year-old Ralph Shaw, convicted of murdering his estranged wife and her friend in a Yukon domestic dispute, died at Pacific Institution. Both deaths underscore the grim reality of incarceration for those convicted of heinous crimes. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
