1/8 Given the surge in interest in the Canadian federal penitentiary system in recent days, here are a few contributions published recently in the JPP for those interested in understanding the grim realities of human caging in these settings.

Every activist/organizer/concerned citizen etc. should be enraged & worried sick about what is happening to Adora Nwofor & Taylor McNallie in Alberta right now. From the extraneous charges and convenient “clerical error” to the massive right-wing platforms demonizing two

In disbelief re: decision to drop all charges against Skyler Williams: "In this Court's struggle to answer 'to what public' under 730 of the Criminal Code, I am prepared to rely on the application of Haudenosaunee law." A rare prioritization of Indigenous over settler interests.

it's #PrisonersJusticeDay ! It's a solidarity movement that takes place annually on August 10. The movement began in Canada in 1974 in support of prisoners' rights and to remember all the people who have died of unnatural deaths while incarcerate.

My friend Freddy was viciously assaulted by CPS in 2013. He was left permanently disabled due to his injuries, but a lawsuit remains ongoing 10 years later. He has received no support from the City or the Province while he is unable to hold a job and unable to pay bills.
