255, Activism for prisoner justice from Chicago to Montreal

A round table discussion between community organizers and artists who are involved in prisoner justice work in both the Chicago and Montreal areas. Olivia Dumas who works with formally incarcerated folks in the Montreal area doing physiological and social support, Aaron Hughes and Damon Locks who both do arts based community projects with prisoners in Illinois and Sheena Hoszko who has been involved in Prisoners' Justice Day and does artwork related to the realities of prisons today in Canada. This discussion is a window into both the organizing work and activism that these voices are involved in and also is really just a capsule, there could easily be a full program about the work of each respective guest.
