Its time to talk seriously about how to stop new prisons from being built in Ontario.

Let's keep supporting the demands of prisoners in struggle on the inside while refusing to settle for less than a world without prison in our efforts on the outside.

Tomorrow (Jan 15) we'll be outside the jail with banners and signs, to remind folks inside that they're not alone. Anyone is welcome to join us! We'll meet at 1pm at the top of the bridge on Ferguson Ave North.

The covid outbreak at Barton jail is ongoing, with at least 43 inmate and 25 staff cases. We haven't heard much from inside recently, and can safely assume that the jail is heavily locked down.

Every single range is triple bunked. The jail has responded to the outbreak as they have in the past, with lockdowns. There is not enough room in the cells to stand and move - nothing healthy about that. Prisoners are demanding masks, sanitizer, disinfectant and more soap

There are still a couple of hours left to call today!

Their demands are simple and prisoners should not be having to risk their health and face reprisals over this.

We celebrate their collective organizing and courage, let's respond with small actions of our own. Make the call tomorrow if you can.
