Full Show April 23, 2021

This show featured lots of news and music as well as audio from Cory Cardinal, who was still incarcerated at the time but has since been released. Cardinal talked to us about the hunger strikes he participated in over the winter as well as the situation more broadly facing Indigenous prisoners like himself. We also aired audio from a prisoner who Cory introduced us to -- Pablo talked to us about the situation facing Indigenous prisoners in the Prairies and about his experience of Prairie prisons from the perspective of someone from South America who had done time in prisons all over Canada.

Prison Radio has been on the air in Montreal for more than a decade. The show seeks to confront the invisibility of prisons and prisoner struggle, by focusing on the roots of incarceration, policing, and criminalization, and by challenging ideas about what prisons are and who ends up inside. Prison Radio is dedicated to programming that is directly collaborative with people who are currently incarcerated. This is in the interest of forging stronger ties between incarcerated and non-incarcerated people, ensuring that prisoners have direct control over their representation, and that our understandings of prisons be informed by those who live inside their walls.
