Advocating for the rights of prisoners, working towards prison abolition
We are a volunteer organization of former prisoners, people with loved ones inside, activists, front-line workers, artists, researchers, educators and students. We engage in direct action, public education, and mutual aid to shed light on the harms caused by incarceration and connect prisoners with social, financial, legal and health supports. We are committed to abolition and building sustainable communities rooted in community care, transformative justice, and accountability.
ACTIONS AND EVENTS
UPDATES
15 of Ontario’s 25 jails are in outbreak, and 2000 prisoners are in medical isolation, yet the Solicitor General Sylvia Jones hasn’t held a single press conference.
Call on the Ottawa Police Service to immediately release and drop the charges against Souheil Benslimane and their friend; and call on the CBSA to stop Souheil’s deportation proceedings.
Please take a moment to write your elected representatives to demand action to address COVID outbreaks inside prisons and jails.
