Cafe Scientifique: Women prisoners and the right to health care

Martha Paynter hosts this discussion on the rising population of women prisoners in Canada and their "complex health histories including trauma, mental illness, addiction and chronic disease."
"Can prisons possibly meet the health needs of women? How do health services conflict with the purpose of prisons—to punish and control?" event organizers ask.
