Canada has its share of police abuse-- however, they try to remedy it.

If no independent review body in that province exists, a separate police service investigates the police conduct.

Inmates should be able to donate organs or bone marrow in exchange for reduced time in prison, according to a proposed bill in Massachusetts.

Donors would receive at least 60 days but no more than one year off their sentences.

Two state lawmakers - both Democrats - claim the bill would "restore bodily autonomy" to incarcerated people.
