A Beautiful Statement, part three, with Cameron Willis
Cameron Willis is back for the final episode of A Beautiful Statement, which analyzes the 1932 prison riot at Kingston Penitentiary that fundamentally changed the Canadian penal system. Cameron’s research through the archives uncovered sources and stories that shed a very different light on this prison riot, what the prisoners themselves describe not as a riot but as a strike action.
