Tales from KP [videorecording] / Canadian Broadcasting Corporation
Tales From KP unlocks some of the most carefully guarded secrets of the Kingston Pen. Through the voices of ex-inmates and ex-guards, learn what it took to survive in KP. Tales From KP is also a reflection on 177 years of crime and punishment in Canada. What started as a noble experiment in social enlightenment evolved into a hated and feared institution where only the worst criminals were sent and still remain. Clifford Olson spent time at KP. Prisoners like Paul Bernardo and Russell Williams are still behind its bars. Soon they and others will be moved to other institutions. But the stories which resonate behind those large grey limestone walls will live on forever, raising questions which will not be easily answered.
