PASAN formed in 1991 as a grassroots response to HIV in the Canadian prison system. ​

Cell Count Issue #93

The 93rd issue of Cell Count focuses on education and raising awareness surrounding vaccinations, particularly due to the ongoing global pandemic at the time of this issue’s release. This issue covers topics ranging from frequently asked questions regarding vaccines to some details surrounding prison life during the pandemic. Additionally, the front page article #FreeTheYouth by Nolan R. Turcotte addresses the concept of abolishing prisons by specifically describing an initiative to devote more time and energy into freeing youth as it would have direct positive social impacts. Furthermore, as per usual in Cell Count, there are articles, poems, and art submissions that can be found from the folks inside. 
 We at PASAN appreciate your support and engagement with the health and well-being of prisoners, ex-prisoners, and their families. If you’ve made a donation to us, we really appreciate it. Your donation to us, we really appreciate it. Your donations make it possible to send issues of Cell Count to prisoners and their families for free.
