It was a tidy plan. Except for one thing: Man plans and the gods laugh.To fund his life and education in Toronto, Todd worked a part-time job—as a corrections officer at the infamous Don Jail.Although he spent a few years working with kids, Todd's experience in corrections propelled him into a 33-year career within Canadian law enforcement.Small-town policing isn't just rescuing cats from trees and performing wellness checks. The concession roads and rural routes of southwestern Ontario are home to some incredibly kind, resilient people, and scene to some strange, tragic and heinous events. Todd dealt with them all, from the naked machete-wielding man who claimed to be Jesus Christ, to armed American fugitives, decades-old sexual assaults, harrowing traffic accidents, violent home invasions, and even a year spent “Uncle Charlie” (undercover) investigating drug traffickers.The title comes from a phrase uttered by a motorcycle gang member who demonstrated his disdain for police by pulling a “wheelie” on his motorcycle following a traffic stop. The biker was charged with stunt driving. In his defense in court, the biker said, in a thick French accent: “It was not possible for me to a pull a ‘wheelie,' Your Worship. I had a full gas of tank!”“Gas of Tank” embodies, for Todd, all the surreal, upside-down, unbelievable, description-defying experiences police face daily.Written by Matt St AmandFreelance writer: Writer / Videographer.

This episode features the first female Captain ever at the Don Jail in Toronto, Elina Feyginberg, who worked for Ontario Corrections as both a Correctional Officer and a Sergeant/Captain for 10 years. She has been speaking out and advocating for change against gender discrimination and inequality, bullying and harassment, corruption, and has been passionate about mental health and trauma that goes on in Corrections. Elina is also a Blue Line Forums writer and has published incredible articles and is well-versed in trauma as she holds a master's degree on trauma and addictions. In this episode, Elina and I discuss what a Correctional Officer's role is, what some of the most traumatic and difficult things she has faced at work were. She sheds light on the challenges of the job, the trauma of seeing death and making difficult decisions without adequate support from superiors, and how that all has a profound effect on the Correctional Officer and their mental health. At the end of this episode, Elina begins to speak about gender discrimination she stood against in her workplace as she refers to Ontario Corrections as an "old boys club." In Episode 3, she continues further details that depict a toxic work culture plagued with human rights violations, reprisals, and corruption, and explains how this effects the offender, the officer, and the public taxpayer.

This episode raises some interesting issues:a. what is the best strategy for addressing the fact of a criminal record when dealing with a prospective employer: mention it up front or wait to be asked?b.  given the prejudicial effects of a criminal record, should Canada adopt 'right to be forgotten' approaches with social media?c.  given the challenges of finding an employer, should more efforts be made to help former prisoners start their own businesses and be self-employed?Check out the documentary "Collared" for more information about Joseph's crime and lessons learned.

The Ride or Die Project is a multi-platform exploration inspired by women who live by a ride-or-die philosophy. This mixtape* was inspired by one of those platforms, the play OTHER SIDE OF THE GAME by Amanda Parris. OTHER SIDE OF THE GAME is a meeting place between the urgent activism of the 1970’s and today’s unapologetic Hip Hop generation. At this meeting place we find the stories of women. Women who organize communities, protect loved one’s and battle institutions, living each day by a ride-or-die philosophy. The play explores the stories of several women as they sit in the waiting room of the Don Jail; hovering in the limbo between freedom and imprisonment.
