Episode 01: No Justice in the System

In this episode, I speak with Senator Kim Pate, who has spent the last four decades fighting for the rights of Canada's most marginalized individuals. Join us as we discuss the documentary Conviction, the Ground Up Initiative started by a group of incarcerated women, all things prison abolition, restorative justice and the recent coroner's inquest into the tragic death of Soleiman Faqiri at the Central East Correctional Centre in Lindsay, Ontario. Senator Kim Pate encourages us to keep reminding them that talk is cheap and we need action.

Key Takeaways: Is restorative justice the best approach? Why do we continue to pour millions of dollars into a legal system that appears to be ineffective in providing assistance to those in need?
