DESCRIPTION:Prisons are many things. Among these\, they are places of work 
 for the tens of thousands of human beings imprisoned there. Like others\, 
 these people report for work in a variety of roles: kitchens\, maintenance
  work\, food processing\, clerical jobs\, and manufacturing. Unlike others
 \, they do so without being recognized as employees and without the basic 
 legal protections usually afforded to workers. Among other impacts\, this 
 can mean working in problematic conditions for meagre pay. For instance\, 
 in 2023 the Office of the Correctional Investigator estimated that\, at th
 e most common level of pay\, federally-imprisoned workers earn a take-home
  pay of 46 cents an hour. These realities are likewise bound up with the c
 omplexity of choice inside prisons\, the safety and dignity of people we p
 ut in these conditions\, and individuals’ ability to meet their daily need
 s\, support their families\, and finance their transition upon release. \n
 \nIn conversation with some of the leading figures in prison labour study 
 and activism\, this roundtable will explore the seemingly untenable state 
 of prison labour in Canada\, current efforts to address it\, and the vario
 us legal and social paths forward. \n\nOur Speakers \n\nThe Canadian Priso
 ners’ Labour ConFederation is a union formed to support and improve condit
 ions of employment for Canada’s prisoner population. \n\nJordan House is a
  professor in Labour Studies at Brock University and co-author of Solidari
 ty Beyond Bars. \n\nAsaf Rashid is a criminal defence and prison lawyer\, 
 community organizer\, and a co-author of Solidarity Beyond Bars. \n\nIvan 
 Zinger is the Correctional Investigator of Canada\, responsible for indepe
 ndent oversight of the federal penitentiary system\, and an adjunct profes
 sor with the Law Department at Carleton University. \n\nDeborah Guterman i
 s a labour lawyer\, graduate of 91ÉçÇø Law\, and Associate at Cavalluzzo L
 LP\, where she specializes in the representation of large provincial and f
 ederal sector trade unions. \n\nMichel Proulx Memorial Roundtable Fund \n
 \nThe Roundtable is named after the Honourable Michel Proulx (1939-2007)\,
  who devoted his life to the improvement of the criminal justice system an
 d to the advancement of human rights in Canada. Called to the Quebec Bar i
 n 1963\, he quickly became known as one of the finest criminal lawyers nat
 ionwide. In 1989\, he was appointed to the Court of Appeal of Quebec. In 2
 006\, he was awarded the Prix de la Justice du Québec in light of his devo
 tion to the improvement of justice in Quebec. Michel Proulx taught both Cr
 iminal Procedure and Evidence in Criminal Matters for over twenty years as
  an adjunct professor at 91ÉçÇø’s Faculty of Law\, in addition to supporti
 ng its international human rights programs\, and providing counsel and enc
 ouragement to students\, teachers\, and deans. The Faculty of Law hosts th
 e Michel Proulx Roundtable Conferences in Criminal Law to honour his memor
 y. The 91ÉçÇø community is grateful to the Proulx family for making this e
 vent possible. \n\n \n
