Hello and welcome back to the JUR-ED podcast. The material today comes from an ongoing Webinar series, CONTAIN COVID, NOT PEOPLE: a collaboration between the Canadian Students for Sensible Drug Policy at Ryerson; Toronto Prisoners’ Rights Project; the Criminalization and Punishment Education Project, and Pasan. This collaboration is called the Prison Abolition Organizing Group, and you can support their work on GoFundMe here: gf.me/u/xs6idt The panel features Robyn Maynard, activist, academic and author of the book, Policing Black Lives. Lawyer Anita Szigeti, President of LAMDA - the Law and Mental Disorder Association. And finally Justin Piché is a professor from Univ of Ottawa who has worked and written on prison abolition.
