detainED is a podcast series centering on the various factions of Canada’s immigration detention as a way to insert this conversation into political Canadian discourse. Throughout four episodes, we hope to:
- Speak with government officials, local politicians, border security and associated professionals etc. on the bureaucracy behind detention systems in a municipal context and their thoughts on the current situation;
- Activists on the frontline who oppose unlawful treatment of detainees and who work tirelessly to free them; and
- Families impacted by having loved ones detained, to encapsulate both the financial and social ramifications of detention.
