Happy Black History Month! Every year on Prison Radio Show we celebrate black history month. Today we remember black Canadians who have been killed by police and in prison. We shine light on several incredible Black women including the Honourable Jean Augustine who did many great things and notably worked to have Black History Month officially recognized in so called Canada. Our feature interview is with Ayo Ogunremi, a McGill student who is Vice-President of External Affairs of Student Society McGill University SSMU, who worked to get an abolitionist motion passed at McGill. We discuss McGill’s newly adopted 'position on institutions of public safety' and the possibility of other campuses following suit with Ayo.

The Prison Radio Show has two time slots on CKUT 90.3 fm http://www.ckut.ca.* The first time slot is: On the second Thursday of every month between 5-6 pm the Prison Radio Show is part of CKUT’s Off The Hour. The second time slot is: The fourth Friday of every month between 11am and 12pm. Occasionally the Prison Radio Show will have an additional show during the fifth Friday. All audio on CKUT 90.3 fm is archived for a minimum of two months, so if you miss a show, you can download it at ckut.ca or here on the blog. 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.
