We re tired of suffering : Former inmate shows support for women in Pine Grove Correctional Centre

  PRINCE ALBERT A small group gathered outside of Pine Grove Correctional Centre on Tuesday to show support for inmates on hunger strike. Pine Grove, located in Prince Albert, is the only correctional facility for women in Saskatchewan. The demonstration was organized by Cory Cardinal, who founded the advocacy group Inmates 4 Humane Conditions, and Sherri Maier of Beyond Prison Walls Canada. Cardinal has continued to advocate for inmates behind bars at the Saskatoon Correctional Centre. He was released last week. “We’re tired of getting swept under the rug. We’re tired of suffering. We’re tired of being labelled. We’re tired of just being dehumanized,” he said.

A small but very vocal group of protestors gathered outside Pine Grove Correctional Centre Tuesday, calling for provincial government Minister of Corrections Christine Tell’s resignation, and also describing for the media what they referred to as inhumane conditions within the province’s jails. Cory Cardinal was recently released from Saskatoon Correctional Centre and made a promise to be there for the protest. “I wanted to keep my word not only to these girls and to the people I told I would do this, but also for myself,” he said. Citing his own personal experience, Cardinal said issues and anxiety related to overcrowding have been exacerbated by the pandemic. He explained it’s important the public realizes inmates have rights too.
