Last week, The Breach produced and streamed the 2022 Prisoners’ Justice Day broadcast, organized by the Abolition Coalition, and hosted by Desmond Cole and The Breach Show’s El Jones.

If you missed the event, or want to revisit some of the provocative insights, here’s a collection of highlights. It draws on PJD TV’s coverage of nationwide events, discussions with scholars and activists, and a rarely-heard live call with incarcerated people about the living conditions that are hidden from most Canadians.

What our journalism can accomplish

‘The first video I ever made with The Breach was on why we need to support the movement for Land Back. Today, it’s being used in educational settings everywhere—in universities and colleges and children’s classrooms too. When I give talks, people will say, ‘I saw your video and it helped me understand the issue.’

That’s what we do at The Breach—reach people where they are at, with bold ideas, principled analysis, and critical investigations.” – Pam Palmater, scholar and author
