Meet Souheil Benslimane, a self-identified "illegalized" and criminalized migrant currently being processed for deportation from Canada. We talk about his experience being incarcerated, how he feels he is being punished twice through the immigration system, and his journey to becoming an abolitionist. We also talk about the important work he does with the Jail Accountability and Information Line Hotline in raising awareness of the conditions and hardships prisoners face and why it is important to critically think and challenge the carceral system.
