After headlines, we interview Paula Mallea of the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives (CCPA), author of the report Fear Factor, which details Stephen Harperâs âtough-on-crimeâ legislative agenda. Next, we talk to Sociology Professor Rose Ricciardelli of York University, who has done extensive ethnographic research with prisoners in Canadaâs federal institutions. Guest host Charlyn Ellis (host of Covered and Bound on CHRY, Mondays, 4-5pm) joins us to talk about prison abolitionism. As a tribute to the great Gil Scott Heron, we play his music throughout our show. Also music from Dâbi Young (w/ Assata Shakur), Chet Singh, and Wasun (ft. Dâtalks).
