Some laws have changed and others have been added: resulting in more beds being filled behind bars. Justin Piché who has a PhD in Sociology will speak to us about the over $3.6 billion being spent by the Harper Government for prison construction and the milliions more in operational and management costs and what it'll mean for people in general. Originally aired on Off the Hour, August 10th. Featuring Dee from Prison Radio.
