Responsibization in the Canadian jails and prisons
<p>Ashley Avery is a queer feminist, advocate, mother, and poet. She is currently the executive director of Coverdale Courtwork Society, a non-profit community-based organization that provides support to women and gender diverse people who are involved in the criminal justice system. She holds an Honours Diploma in Social Service Work from Seneca College as well as a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Women’s Studies from Mount Saint Vincent University. Ashley is also in Graduate school, studying for a Masters in Women & Gender Studies under the supervision of El Jones and Dr. Rachel Zellers. In 2020, her work to support the exodus of over 41% of the jail population in response to covid-19 won the Michael McDonald Access to Justice Award.</p> <p>We also have Robert Clarke with us today. During his career with Corrections Canada, Robert Clark rose through the ranks from student volunteer to deputy warden. He worked with some of Canada’s most notorious prisoners, including Tyrone Conn and Paul Bernardo, and he dealt with escapes, lockdowns, murders, suicides, and a riot. But he also arranged ice hockey games in a maximum-security institution, sat in a darkened gym watching movies with three hundred inmates, took parolees sightseeing, and consoled victims of violent crime.</p> <p>In his monograph Down Inside, Clark takes readers into prisons large and small, from the minimum-security Pittsburgh Institution to the Kingston Regional Treatment Center for the mentally ill and the notorious (and now closed) maximum-security Kingston Penitentiary. He challenges head-on the popular belief that a “tough on crime” approach makes communities and prisons safer, arguing instead for humane treatment and rehabilitation and for an end to the abuse of solitary confinement.</p> <p>Robert Clark began his career with Corrections Canada in 1980, working in the gymnasium at the medium-security Joyceville Institution. Over the next thirty years, he worked at seven different federal prisons and in almost every conceivable role. Robert lives in Kingston Ontario.</p> <p>Before drafting questions for this podcast, students read the “I’m very careful about that: narrative and agency of men in prison,” a 2006 article by the late John P. McKendy.”</p>

The quality of the recording is likely to be compromised somewhat by this situation.</p> <p>Reference</p> <p>McKendy, J. (2006).
