Prisons Inside Out
Kirstan Gagnon: Every day, it seems like we hear another news story about someone who’s been sentenced to prison in Canada.
These stories share the details of what the person did, and how long they’ll be behind bars.
And for most Canadians, this is where the story ends.
But have you ever wondered about what happens next?
For Correctional Service of Canada, this is where our story begins.
Hi, I’m Kirstan Gagnon, the host of Prisons Inside Out, a brand new podcast from the Correctional Service of Canada.
Prisons Inside Out will bring you stories, and in-depth answers for your pressing questions. We'll have that and more on Prisons Inside Out.
