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.
