The annual Prisoners’ Justice Day memorial on August 10 gathered around 40 attendees who listened to perspectives from those who engage with incarcerated individuals. The sentiment conveyed was succinctly captured by Kaela Pelland, the director of peer engagement at Réseau ACCESS Network, who emphasized that prioritizing the health of incarcerated individuals leads to longer lives and safer exits from jail.
The event featured speakers from various organizations, each shedding light on the challenges faced by incarcerated individuals. Cory Roslyn of the Elizabeth Fry Society highlighted the disproportionately high number of incarcerated women and gender non-conforming individuals who have experienced abuse and trauma. He noted that a significant percentage of those incarcerated in Ontario correctional facilities are on remand, not yet convicted of their charged crimes.
