Abstract

Kan Janpor’s “Letter to Southwest Center” rebukes the legitimacy of psychiatry, his indefinite detention, and how a system not intended to be punitive is “the closest approximation of pure evil that [he has] experienced in [his] present incarnation.” Kan’s words were smuggled out of the facility by his brother while he was in solitary confinement to be submitted to Critical Disability Discourses during the shrinking submission eligibility window. All inquiries can be directed to the special issue editor, Greg Procknow: gregproc@yorku.ca
