August 10, Prisoner’s Justice Day, full press release
Eddie Nalon died alone in a segregation cell in Millhaven maximum-security penitentiary located in Kingston, Ontario, Canada on August 10th, 1974. A year later, Prisoners’ Justice Day was first observed by imprisoned people held in the same Canadian federal penitentiary who engaged in a one-day hunger and work strike in support of their demands to end solitary confinement and other injustices behind bars. Since then, PJD has been marked by people inside and outside prison walls across the world. As prisons continue to exist and kill, PJD events are once again taking place across the country on August 10th to commemorate the lives lost to human caging and to stand in solidarity with imprisoned people, along with their loved ones, who are demanding changes to save lives behind and beyond bars, including an end to solitary confinement and segregation-like measures that have become further entrenched during this age of disruption plagued by COVID-19, floods, forest fires and poor air quality, heat waves, and other preventable disasters.
