An interview with Jordan House and Asaf Rashid, authors of the book Solidarity Beyond Bars: Unionizing Prison Labour.
We discuss the background of the book, some historical and legal precedents, the pros and cons of right-based approaches, the core strategic arguments for a prisoners union, and an exciting new initiative by prisoners in Laval, QC to form a union.
If you’re around Montreal, check out their upcoming book launch at Concordia University on Friday, November 24th.
With music from David Parker & Stefan Christoff.
