Cell Count #106 – Theme: Togetherness

The newest issue of Cell Count (#106) explores the theme of togetherness, highlighting both the strength found in solidarity and the systemic barriers that demand collective action. This edition features a powerful reflection on the support and dignity found at Sanctuary in Toronto, contrasting it with the isolating and punitive structures of incarceration. It also includes sharp critiques of the Parole Board of Canada’s unfair decision-making processes and the culture of impunity within Correctional Service of Canada, where staff evade accountability for misconduct that would not be tolerated in other workplaces. A call to action rounds out the issue, urging prisoners to unite in demanding meaningful changes within CSC. Through these contributions, Cell Count #106 reinforces the necessity of community, advocacy, and resistance in the face of injustice.
