We are a community-based prisoner health and harm reduction organization that provides support, education and advocacy to prisoners and ex-prisoners across Canada.
We strive to provide community development, education and support to prisoners and ex-prisoners provincially in Ontario and federally regarding HIV, Hepatitis C (HCV) and around whole health and harm reduction. |
PASAN formed in 1991 as a grassroots response to HIV in the Canadian prison system. |
Today, PASAN is the only community-based organization in Canada exclusively providing HIV and HCV prevention, education and support services to prisoners, ex-prisoners and their families. |

Issue #85 of Cell Count!Check out issue #85 of Cell Count! Featuring articles, poetry and art centred around Prisoners Justice Day (Aug 10th), a day where people inside fast and refuse to go to work to remember and bring awareness to those who have passed away in custody. Whether that be by overdose, HIV, HepC or other medical conditions, suicide, homicide, accident or natural causes. Nobody should have to die inside of a prison.

Prisoners Justice Day 2018Join us at Allan Gardens on August 10th, 1-4pm
in solidarity with people inside prisons who observe an annual day of fasting and refusal to go to work in the name of those who have died in custody. We will also use this day to raise awareness about the lack of a harm reduction approach in prisons, jails and detention centres that has led to an overdose crisis. |
