We meet women in prison who, at work, bet on the possibility of changing the state of things.
On the first day of work we always say that two things are important:
• Respect diversity in all its forms (of character, religion, ethnicity, political opinion) and then know how to sew.
• Each prisoner who works at Made in Carcere has a unique story: we want to tell you a few so that you know which project you are supporting every time you make a purchase on our store.

How come they all smile? The photos were taken by photographer Enzo Dal Verme who, when interviewing the inmates, also asked them how they wanted to be portrayed. All replied that they were happy to be seen smiling. One of them, Domiria, added: “Actually your reportage would be more complete if you also showed the cells. It’s a big three steps for two in which three inmates are locked up 22 hours a day. Not all of them are as lucky as we are.” Unfortunately, there was no permission to photograph the cells.
Read the interviews and, if you find them interesting, share them.
