Join writer and researcher Lorna Poplak as she presents facts behind the Don Jail’s location and construction and shares tales about inmates, guards, governors, gangs, officials and even a pair of star-crossed lovers whose doomed romance unfolded in the shadow of the gallows. The illustrated talk will highlight the Don’s tumultuous descent from palace to hellhole, its shuttering and lapse into decay, and its astonishing modern-day metamorphosis.

Copies of Laura’s book, The Don: The Story of Toronto’ Infamous Jail will be available for purchase prior to the presentation.

Masks are not required, but are strongly recommended.

NOTE: this meeting will not be available online.
