Criminalization and Punishment Education Project

The Jail Accountability & Information Line aims to develop its capacity to offer prisoners and their families legal information and connections to legal services in an effort to improve conditions of confinement at the Ottawa-Carleton Detention Centre. Partnerships will be developed among the Faculty of Social Sciences and Faculty of Law at the University of Ottawa, the Department of Sociology and Anthropology at Carleton University, Community Legal Education Ontario, and Legal Aid Ontario. With the assistance of two part-time coordinators, up to eight undergraduate social sciences students will be partnered with up to eight law students to participate in call intake and resolution work.
