It's International Literacy Day! Studies show that literacy and education programs help reduce recidivism. With prisoners in Canada tending to have much lower education levels, it’s time that we put more emphasis on expanding literacy in prisons. #InternationalLiteracyDay

Did you know that, in 2019, the Truth And Reconciliation Commission called for the creation of more healing lodges? Only one has been created since, for a total of 10 healing lodges. Currently, none exist in Ontario or Atlantic Canada.

Former offenders can be refused jobs for crimes they committed decades ago, often regardless of the crime. This continues the cycle of poverty that often causes 
crime in the first place. Let's make it simpler and cheaper to get a record suspension, and help them move on.

August 10th is Prisoners' Justice Day. 50 years ago today, a group of Canadian prisoners began a hunger strike to protest the death of Edward Nalon who had died by suicide one year earlier while kept in solitary confinement. #prisonersjusticeday

The truth: research has consistently shown longer sentences aren't a deterrent and may actually make people more likely to reoffend. They can make it harder for prisoners to reintegrate. Longer sentences lead to higher costs, which can divert money away from crime prevention.
