SIO_EP04 “TED RUTLAND”

 In Episode 4 of Stories from the Inside Out, we talk to Ted Rutland, activist, writer and educator at Montreal’s Concordia University, and actively involved in work around systemic racism, prisons, policing, urban planning and housing. Ted sheds light on his work with the collective Anti-Carceral Group, police misconduct and corruption, and how gang classifications in prisons impact and affect the lives of Black individuals moving through the Canadian justice system.
