Canadian Association of Law Libraries Webinar on Prison Law

The Canadian Association of Law Libraries (CALL) will host a webinar on January 28, 2021 on Prison Law: Researching Health and Legal Implications of Aging Prison Populations. 

The event will take place 1:00 - 2:15 PM ET:

"Dr. Iftene will present on the substance and the methodology of her biggest project to date. This project was built around the experiences of older prisoners, the challenges individuals face in Canadian penitentiaries, and their struggles for justice. Through firsthand accounts and quantitative data drawn from extensive interviews, her work brings forward the experiences of federally incarcerated people living their 'golden years' behind bars. These experiences show the limited ability of the system to respond to heightened needs, while also raising questions about how international and national laws and policies are applied, and why they fail to ensure the safety and well-being of incarcerated individuals."

The speaker will be  Dr. Adelina Iftene, Assistant Professor and the Criminal Justice Specialization Coordinator at the Schulich School of Law, Dalhousie University, in Halifax.
