Cell Count Issue #92

The 92nd issue of Cell Count focuses on awareness about Canadian prisoners and their rights. Touching on topics from prison labour, food insecurity, feminist struggle regarding abolition, dry cells and so on. Criminal Lives Matter (front page) article by B.G. Kerr addresses the lack of respect, mistreatment, and lack of accountability from the government/staff towards the prisoners. In addition, there are articles, poems, and art submissions 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 donations make it possible to send issues of Cell Count to prisoners and their families for free. If you haven't donated, we're still grateful that you're supporting prisoners by reading our paper.
