It’s been over 20 years since the Kingston Prison for Women (P4W) closed. Since then, more prisons have opened, and the changes that were promised when P4W closed have not been delivered. This gathering brings people together to connect with each other, reflect on the legacy of P4W, and discuss how to create change.
