An inmate at Stony Mountain Institution has died.

The Correctional Service of Canada announced that Oliver Murdock — who was serving time for aggravated assault — died Wednesday, apparently of natural causes, at the Manitoba penitentiary.

Murdock’s next of kin have been notified, and correctional officials will review the circumstances surrounding his death, as they do whenever an inmate dies in custody.

Connect All The Dots - Sound statistics are crucial as the foundation for public policy

  Read the entire post at Connect All The Dots, well worth your time.   “Not all sex offenders are incarcerated. Given how hard it is to obtain convictions for sexual offenses, consider the likelihood that the total number of male sex offenders may be larger than the total number of males who “identify as women.” If a man invades a female change room, the women and girls inside are likely to have…

I feel like I'm losing my fucking mind.

while the absolute horror continues to bombard palestine - the nonstop bombings, the dead bodies in the street and trapped under rubble those living can no longer get to, the restriction of health care, newborn babies left to die, starvation and thirst, literal sewage in the streets spreading disease, all of this in gaza and even in the west bank, the increased bombings there and raids - daily, meanwhile, here in canada, we apparently have nothing fucking better to do then arrest people for using pro-palestine chants under the guise of it being hate motivated.

WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK

I wish this was a fucking joke, but no. a protestor in calgary was arrested for using 'from the river to the sea, palestine will be free.' apparently the cops stopped by to 'inform' the protestors what chants were allowed and what were ~no no's~ which included 'from the river to the sea', and when a protestor used it anyway (because it's NOT FUCKING HATE SPEECH) they arrested him. for calling for the freedom of people under an occupation.

this is canada, supposedly one of the most free places to be (built atop the blood of indigenous people but anyways). but with pro-israel propaganda and the weaponizing of anti-semitism being repeated by our media and leaders, shit like this happens.

someone tell me right now where in the phrase 'from the river to the sea, palestine will be free' there is a call for an extermination of jewish people. look me in the fucking eyes and try to find where in that call for freedom it shows hatred for jews. this is fucking pathetic. this is a call for freedom. this is a call for liberation of a people who've been oppressed and assaulted for years, since before both my 60+ parents were born. this is a call for them to be able to walk freely within their own homes, within their own land, to be able to control their own lives. liberation for their safety and for their children, from the constant risk of arrest, assault and raids by the israeli army.

this is about ending an occupation, not the jewish people & their way of life.

many new sites like cbc and global reported on this as well as others; the global article also interviewed a jewish man, who claimed the chant was anti-semitic. it mentioned that he was the president of an organization called 'Federation CJA' - one google search of their website, and wouldn't you fucking know it, they're in partnership with israel, from 'birthright' trips to allowing you to send goddamn postcards to their poor, sad soldiers who're exhausted from bombing innocent civilians all day.

so while we sit here in safety, humming over think-pieces about whether a demand from an exhausted people to finally let them be free secretly means slaughtering every person of another marginalized group in site, the death toll in gaza has gone above 11,000.

of all the fucking absurd things canadians could be talking about right now, this has to take the first-place blue ribbon.

frankly, what this does mean at least, is one thing - when the occupier starts crying because the people they've trampled on for years demanded they stop & it hurt their feelings, it means they're scared. it means that the marches and support are working. when the oppressors start weaponizing language used for liberation and claim it's a cry to hang them from the gallows, then they're getting desperate. it's a reminder to us all to keep pushing and fight for a liberated palestine.

from the river to the sea, palestine will be free

(I s2g if any zionists come in my notes trying to claim some bs that is just the regurgitated rhetoric of the propaganda you've swallowed it's on fucking site I will block you).

#palestine #free palestine #canadian politics #cdnpoli #canadian news #I Am Once Again Reminding Everyone That Anti-Zionism Doesn't Equal Anti-Semitism #really once you learn more about palestine you see this really doesn't have anything to do with religion/ideology #and is really the subjugation of one people blanketed as support for another #but honestly if you're still dead fast supporting israel's plan of 'bombing out the terrorists' #after all the bloodshed shown in gaza......then I have severe problems with that #and frankly the fact that so many jewish people both israeli and non are showing support tells you something #have there been anti-semitic attacks towards jewish israeli's and a rise of anti-semitic attacks worldwide? YES #and even that jewish organization does good things like helping holocaust survivors and combating anti-semitism #but acting like saying palestinians should have freedom is a war cry against all jewish people is absurd #and zionists crying that palestinians want to kill them for being jewish as if them revolting sprang out of nowhere #I'm pretty sure they're revolting bc you stole their homes and made them prisoners in their own land lets start there #if it comes out later that that protestor DID in fact say something anti-semitic then I'll backtrack but this chant is in no way hate speec #I was literally at a palestine rally a couple weeks ago where we chanted this it's been used for years

I Miss You, Hugs and Kisses (Drop Dead, Dearest, 1978)

"What is this? What is this? I'm not a suspect, am I?"

"I didn't say that."

"Goddammit, why aren't you doing something? Why aren't you out there looking for the person who did it? Look, look, look. I don't have to be treated in this...this, this manner! I'm not some motorcycle punk you've dragged in off the street! I'm a wealthy man!"

A group of professors and former students at a Nova Scotia university are working together to deliver post-secondary education to imprisoned individuals throughout the province. The “prison access to education” program, spearheaded by assistant professor El Jones, at Mount Saint Vincent University (MSVU) is one of a kind — as it makes the Halifax institution the only degree-granting university for incarcerated people in Canada. Jones, who’s also known for her activism and spoken-word poetry, said the program, which started in 2018, connects inmates to professors and covers everything required to attend university, such as program costs associated with fees and textbooks. “We believe that access to education is a right and is so incredibly important in people’s reintegration in their time in prison,” she said during an interview in her MSVU office on Thursday.

Please help the P4W Memorial Collective fund a Prisoners’ Justice Day healing circle for former prisoners of the Prison for Women (P4W).  

For years, women have gathered on Prisoners’ Justice Day at the site of P4W, located on traditional Haudenosaunee and Anishinaabe territories, to mourn and build solidarity through a healing circle conducted according to Indigenous protocol. Everyone is welcome, especially women who have known prison from the inside, as well as prisoner justice supporters and all community members who want to come together for healing. 

For this event, it is important for ex-prisoners to have the opportunity to travel to Katarokwi/Kingston from out of town. However, it is often not within their means to do so without financial support. Therefore, all money raised through this campaign will go toward ex-prisoners travel and accommodation costs. Your donations to this important event are extremely appreciated.  

About Prisoners’ Justice Day: August 10 is a day to show solidarity with prisoners and remember those who have died unnecessarily — victims of murder, suicide and neglect. Prisoners’ Justice Day began on August 10 1974 in honour of Eddie Nalon, who died in the segregation unit of Millhaven Maximum Security Prison located in Bath, Ontario. It has since continued to be a day of coordinated protests, advocacy, and memorials.   About the P4W Memorial Collective: The P4W Memorial Collective is a group of women ex-prisoners from the P4W who are working towards the creation of a permanent memorial garden and community space on the grounds of the P4W, in Katarokwi/Kingston, Ontario. Through their work they honor the women who lost their lives in P4W, and uplift the stories of the women who survived. They aim to raise public consciousness about injustices that continue to be perpetrated in Canadian jails and prisons, and to support resistance to carceral colonial power through coalitional decolonial abolitionist praxis amongst people with prison experience, and those who have never been inside. The group holds events at P4W each year on Prisoners’ Justice Day, where they plant the seeds of transformative justice and move closer to planting a memorial garden.

he was cutting up a horse’s leg specify what meat it was.. megan was literally not talking abt it trying to spare tory and he dragged it out and faced the consequences

tory’s goons were spreading lies abt her on twitter and-on top of that men were sexualizing her WHILE she was in the hospital and she was just supposed to stay silent?

Plus she had a restraining order against him and he still decided to be a surprise guest to perform with Da Baby at Rolling Loud, right after she performed. Man's was trolling hard

And the crazy part is, they were all cheering for it at the time like he was brilliant for these stunts But now everyone’s got amnesia and it could have meant anything but DING DING peak gaslighting theyre doing

He broke the order by showing up to a set to perform music and being near her 100 yards… yet he didn’t get his bail removed because the judge understood his intentions weren’t to attack Megan or anything. Yet her team tried so hard to paint the narrative

he put himself straight in jail

he ruined himself

#Oh I never even knew about this detail... HOPE HE ROTS... #I really hope hes getting passed around in prison like a blunt #Exactly...they gotta get off Meg dick #I hope he’s hallucinating #& drinking toilet water rn #HES A DEMON!!!!

Leisure and entertainment at the Front: Two German prisoners of war wearing clown costumes made of sacking for a theatrical entertainment at 360 POW Company, France. Such entertainments were a particular feature of camp life for prisoners on both sides. However, prisoners had to rely almost entirely on their own limited resources for costumes and scenery.

I just learned bill c-11 passed...I just can’t anymore...I just can’t take any more of THIS. After 2015 everything has just gone wrong, all sorts of trauma and terrors spiralled out of my control and damaged me until being in this neurotically manic and near-helpless state, and the dark powers that run the governments continues to viscerally, viciously unwind every last shred of happiness I try to reclaim and hold on to? God fuck canada, I’m making plans to move. I have no idea how I’m going to do it, but I need to. It’s far more than I could ever stand.

#I thought there was nothing to worry about #I needed that to stay for a while...a good long while #and now this #I have been isolated and made miserable in reality enough and the canadian internet is supposed to be my reprieve...not yet another prison #I have done research on what exactly this bill is about and nothing I have read is okay #If freedom and consent is forced away then this place doesn't deserve me #I need help and escape now more than ever #how do I move my posessions and I to another country while homeless...? #I am being driven insane with stress and depression and it's all exclusively the government's fault!!!! #If I am truly dying in this climate than I have to move somewhere where I can LIVE #no question anymore...no matter how many important dreams I had here that will not come true for a while
