Episode 1: Carmel in the Redlight

In this episode, Carmel shows us around her old track in the former Redlight, where she worked in the early 2000s. She talks at length about police profiling and violent tactics used by police against sex workers in this area. Carmel mentions particularly the neighborhood’s notorious Station 21, where officers are trained in violent profiling tactics and then unleashed, so to speak, on other areas of the city. Carmel finishes off this episode visiting the Chambre de La Jeunesse on Bellechasse and Saint Denis, where she was incarcerated as a youth in the early 2000s.
