Prisoner Justice on Black Mask
Black Mask – Prisoners’ Justice Day
Every August 10th, inmates and their allies recognize Prisoners’ Justice Day, a day of commemoration, mourning and awareness-raising. Throughout Canada, prisoners mark this day by fasting and/or refusing to work in honour of the memory of those who have been killed while incarcerated.
Black Mask will mark PJD by broadcasting an interview with the Executive Director of the Elizabeth Fry Society of Manitoba, Tracy Booth. We will also be reading a poem that was written by an inmate that gives a first-hand account of what life is like on the inside.
Additionally, we will also be interviewing Tyler Shiply, who is the front man for the formerly Winnipeg-based Consumer Goods and playing a track from their
yet-to-be released EP, ‘But We Don’t Shoot Pistols?’
Tune in every Wednesday at 5 pm EST or visit the archives to download past episodes. To the barricades!
