RESPONSE
The Centre for Access to Information and Justice (CAIJ), the Criminalization and Punishment Education Project (CPEP), and the Canadian Civil Liberties Association (CCLA) came together as the Prison Pandemic Partnership to examine the impact of COVID-19 on jails, prisons, and penitentiaries across the country. From December 2020 to April 2023, this initiative was funded through a Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada Partnership Engage Grant (1008-2020-0238) led by Kevin Walby (principal investigator) of the University of Winnipeg, Justin Piché (co-investigator) of the University of Ottawa, and Abby Deshman (partner) in her previous role at the CCLA prior to returning to private practice as a lawyer with St.Lawrence Barristers.
