Max Siegelbaum, an independent journalist who co-founded the website Documented; Helen, from The Certain Days Freedom for Political Prisoners Calendar.
The website that Max Siegelbaum co-founded focuses on issues facing immigrants in New York City. A couple weeks ago Max broke a story about the Canadian Pension Plan's investments in private prisons in the US. We talked to him about that story, about ethical investing, and about where else the CPP is putting their money.
Then our interview with Helen from The Certain Days Freedom for Political Prisoners Calendar project. Great project and a great interview.

Finally, weâll be airing audio from a demonstration that took place on Sunday October 21 in Montreal against the International Corrections and Prisons Association conference. This conference was hosted by Correctional Services Canada and has been happening all week at the Marriott Hotel on de la Gauchetiere in downtown Montreal. They only know one way to act: build more prisons and have stricter enforcement inside. What's new, hey? This is why we have to keep fighting for prisoners rights. First them, then us, the citizens who stand by and stay silent. Stand up and DO SOMETHING!
