Prison Pandemic Papers

Cree poet and prisoner justice advocate, Cory Charles Cardinal, was incarcerated at the Sakatoon Correctional Centre in the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic. Motivated by a passion for justice, Cory was committed to speaking truth and resisting the oppression of his brothers and sisters during the pandemic. He co-organized three major hunger strikes to highlight the inhumane conditions inside and demand change.
This zine is a selection of writing, poetry and visual art about his individual and the collective experiences inside during COVID-19. Following his release, he entrusted his journals and other collected papers to Free Lands Free Peoples and asked us to assemble a zine that would raise awareness.
Cory once said, "The COVID-19 virus is the virus of truth." We continue to stand in solidarity and remain committed to truth and justice for Indigenous peoples and our incarcerated relatives.- Free Lands Free Peoples
