Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Education in prison
Q: What are some of the barriers that you see most often with those that you teach?
Here at this prison, for sure, it's the movement. Well, people can only move one at a time, like one unit at a time.
Education in prison
Q: How do we approach that?
It's very much case by case. We never know what we're going to get, who we're going to get, what kind of background, what kind of education they have.
Inside Canada's Penitentiary Museum
Q: What would be the penalty for talking?
Talking could lead to being placed in the dark cell, receiving meals of just bread and water, depending on the nature of the conversation.
Inside Canada's Penitentiary Museum
Q: How did Canadians perceive crime back then compared to now?
Back then, crime was viewed clearly; anyone who offended the law was seen as a criminal, and prison terms were harsh with a strong emphasis on moral instruction for rehabilitation.
Inside Canada's Penitentiary Museum
Q: Could you give us a bit of an overview of when the first penitentiary opened in Canada?
