  • Summary

  • All labour exists on a spectrum, ranging from enslavement at one pole, to fully, freely given on the other.


    And, in Canada, at the most extreme end of that spectrum are prison labourers. Incarcerated people have few rights and fewer options when it comes to their working lives.


    If we want to truly understand our criminal justice system and Canadian labour, we need to examine how prisoners work.
