Illuminated Prison Problems


Is it possible work in prisons?

I tried to expose an issue that seemed important in our society.

Almost in every prison it is possible to work, but this opportunity is used only by 25% of the inmates.

What is being done by the rest of the inmates?

They have to stand in line waiting for their turn to work.

The reasons why they want to work:

“First of all, it is re-socialization, in order for them to have skills and experience after they are freed. Another reason is connected with civil lawsuits, compensations to the victims, and helping the family.”
