The Coalition Against Proposed Prisons (CAPP)


Five years ago, the Ford government declared its plan to destroy Kemptville farmland, located on unceded and unsurrendered Algonquin Anishinaabe Territory, to build a prison.

The community knows the fight isn’t over.

Click here for the CAPP EVOLUTION document and the NOPE (No Ontario Prison Expansion) statement to see how we’re pushing back and building momentum – and watch our newest video, #NOPE, below…

Together, we can save the farmland in Kemptville, as well as stop other provincial jail infrastructure
from being built elsewhere. No new prisons in any backyard.
