More info on Prisoners’ Justice Day
===========================
Prisoners’ Justice Day happens every year on August 10th.  It is a day set
aside each year when prisoners and supporters gather to honour the memory
of the women and men who have died unnatural deaths inside Canadian
prisons.  On this day, prisoners around the world fast, refuse to work,
and remain in their cells.  Outside supporters organize community events
to draw public attention to the conditions inside prisons and the urgent
need for change within both the criminal justice and prison system.
