GREAT LAKES RESEARCH CENTER 202
In her talk, Lisa Guenther will reflect on this question as a supporter of the P4W Memorial Collective, a group of women who did time in the Kingston Prison for Women (P4W). The prison closed in 2000, and it is now owned by a private developer who is turning it into luxury condos and a retirement home. In the midst of this development, the Collective is creating a memorial garden and outdoor gallery in honour of those who died in the prison, and those who continue to live and die in prisons across so-called Canada. The aim of this memory work is not only to preserve the past, but also to change the future, so that people will never again die in the name of justice.
