About

On this episode of Appointed, we are taking a quick break from our Guaranteed Livable Income series to talk about Canada’s prison system. In recognition of Prisoners’ Justice Day, here’s an episode that focuses on debunking myths and sharing knowledge about prisons in Canada. I, Fregine, ask Kim the questions you sent us about prison. Thank you to all those who sent in questions. Unfortunately, we were not able to answer all of your questions in this episode, but please keep an eye out for future episodes that might be inspired by some of your questions. *Please forgive some of the audio problems. This interview was conducted over zoom. Resources mentioned during the show: Please find Senator Pate’s speech where she calls to decarcerate prisoners, in particular Black, Indigenous and other racialized prisoners, by committing to a release of 5% of those in federal prisons per year, here.
