Media: Author:
Waiting to go inside, a line of women stand in a yard enclosed by a wall that is topped with barbed wire. The women wear the same all-white uniform of a t-shirt, shorts, and crocs, and they all wear masks. Two women are holding small children. On the right of the frame is a stroller.

The deplorable conditions of imprisoned women in El Salvador has remained largely neglected...

 

Imprisonment fuels crime and violence destroys families. Ana Maria Arevalo looks at Latin American society to examine how criminals are judged, crimes are investigated, and minorities are treated. Her goal is to give visibility to female imprisonment from a perspective specific to the historical context, while providing women the space to express themselves and make their stories be heard.
