Benjamin Perrin is a professor at the University of British Columbia, Peter A. Allard School of Law and a senior fellow in criminal justice at the Macdonald Laurier Institute of Public Policy and the author of several books including Indictment: the Criminal Justice System on Trial and Overdose: Heartbreak and Hope in Canada's Opioid Crisis. We speak with Ben Perrin about a couple of his books. Ben does a fantastic job of describing challenges of criminal justice and the opioid crisis in Canada. He places himself within the frame of someone who used to believe one way, but changed his view – in his own description, because of his faith. Ben's research on the topics is extensive and his books offer a look into the many challenges and considerations. They also offer an example of the positive call of being open to change. It was a privilege to speak with Ben. We think that you will find his insight and example inspiring. We are grateful as well to open this episode with a conversation with a member of the Reflector Project Board, the non-profit of which Rector's Cupboard is a part. Tierney has professional experience working with people who have faced the trauma and stigma that Benjamin Perrin writes and speaks about.

Professor Benjamin Perrin has recently published a book - Indictment: The Criminal Justice System on Trial - that proposes some revolutionary changes to the criminal justice system. You might think that's not particularly noteworthy - some law professors routinely advocate for radical changes to how our legal regime functions. What's interesting about where Benjamin finds himself, however, is how dramatically different his current views are compared to what his own views were as recently as ten years ago. As he himself describes it, he experienced some "changes in his heart" - which lead to changes in his views. We talk about that journey, including the role that faith has played and continues to play in his scholarship and advocacy.

As the pandemic winds down, another public health emergency rages — and it is not getting as much attention. We're speaking, of course, about the opioid crisis. Theresa Tam, Canada's chief medical officer of health, recently tweeted that the latest data shows that in 2021, 7,560 people died of opioid-related overdose. On average, 21 people died and 17 were hospitalized every day.Tara's guest on the program today penned an opinion piece in the Vancouver Sun in 2020 warning that our pandemic response could escalate the crisis. Sadly, he has been proven right. He is a former criminal justice advisor to Prime Minister Stephen Harper who underwent a transformation in his views, becoming a passionate advocate for the decriminalization of drugs, for a safe supply, and above all, for more empathy and compassion for Canadians struggling with addiction.
