In 1953, my teenage mother spent weeks in what was known as the “dungeon” at the Andrew Mercer Reformatory as punishment for escaping. A decade for Tona Mills is deeply distressing; it’s hard to grasp that those in authority allowed her and others to be subjected to such inhumane and cruel TORTURE.
Prison Adoptee
Yesterday, the Senate passed Tona’s Law, Bill S-205.
This bill is the result of decades of work to uphold human rights for those most marginalized and to ensure that what happens behind prison walls is never beyond accountability. 1/4
