This week, we spoke with prisoner rights advocates in Canada about protests at the Saskatchewan Penitentiary in response to Covid-19 restrictions. We also have an audio statement from a detainee in the women’s unit at the Adelanto ICE Processing Center who says detainees there are going on strike, as Democracy Now reports that, as of May 1, the hunger strike in the men’s unit of Adelanto was also ongoing.
Perilous Podcast is a news and oral history project featuring original interviews with prisoners and detainees who have participated in or witnessed protests, uprisings and other forms of unrest behind bars. We also gather analysis and insight from researchers and advocates in an effort to build a better understanding of systems of incarceration and collective action and strategy.
