Are Canadian prisons the next residential school system? | Ross Denny-Jiles | TEDxQuestU |
|
This talk dives into the problems plaguing the Canadian Prison system, to begin a conversation about how we as a society can move away from our old conceptions of justice and in pursuit of a new way forward. Ross graduated from Quest in December of 2018. Seemingly planning to spend his 20s in various forms of higher education, he plans on beginning law school in the fall of 2019. At Quest, Ross studied Canadian law and politics focusing on how different inequalities manifest in our Canadian institutions. Outside of academia, Ross is an avid board game enthusiast and hiker. Having grown up on the west coast, he is always keen to be outside.
At TEDxQuestu, Ross hopes to inform his audience about the problems plaguing the Canadian Prison system and begin a conversation about how we as a society can move away from our old conceptions of justice and in pursuit of a new way forward. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx |
