Its time to talk seriously about how to stop new prisons from being built in Ontario.
Let's keep supporting the demands of prisoners in struggle on the inside while refusing to settle for less than a world without prison in our efforts on the outside.
Escaping Tomorrow’s Cages — #PrisonExpansion in Ontario
"Ontario is in the midst of an initiative to expand the provincial prison system in the east and the north, and our hope is for this text to contribute to a struggle capable of stopping it."

The covid outbreak at Barton jail is ongoing, with at least 43 inmate and 25 staff cases. We haven't heard much from inside recently, and can safely assume that the jail is heavily locked down.

Every single range is triple bunked. The jail has responded to the outbreak as they have in the past, with lockdowns. There is not enough room in the cells to stand and move - nothing healthy about that. Prisoners are demanding masks, sanitizer, disinfectant and more soap

Their demands are simple and prisoners should not be having to risk their health and face reprisals over this.
We celebrate their collective organizing and courage, let's respond with small actions of our own. Make the call tomorrow if you can.
