what is PRISONERS' JUSTICE DAY

This year is the 27th Anniversary of Prisoners' Justice Day. It was started by prisoners in Canada as a day of recognition for the many people who have died unnatural deaths inside prison; from suicide, murder and medical neglect. Every August 10th, prisoners across Canada refuse to eat, refuse to work and hold memorial services. Outside of prison, supporters organize community events to raise public awareness of the ongoing issues that contribute to prisoner deaths.

Rock Against Prisons is a benefit concert. All proceeds go to local prisoner support groups.
For more information about this year's Prisoners' Justice Day events, or for further information about prison issues in Canada go to the PJD website.
