Radio BASICS

August 25/2014
In this feature interview we talk to inmate Ryan Jordan about systemic racism, racial discrimination, racial divides between administration and inmates and a racial division between who gets privileges and who gets punishments within Canada’s “Correctional Institutions”. Incarcerated since 2003, Jordan speaks from his experiences as a grievance clerk for other prisoners, as well as from his own experiences launching a number of legal challenges against the prison system and its administrators, the most recent of which in April 2014 was concluded in his favour at the Ontario Superior Court of Justice.

Ryan Jordan is currently serving a life sentence and is currently institutionalized at Collins Bay minimum security
