TESTIMONIES

"When someone manages to realize, when we wake up, it is only then when we are going take charge and responsibility. In that realization we able to contemplate and discover the potential of the human being. That is also the time when our chattering mind stops, and ceases the suffering created by itself. Then can be in balance and aware. It is then when we recover nothing more and nothing less than the dignity and along with it the freedom." Luis Alberto Ángel (ex Intern).

At the international level the program has more than 23 years, works actively in 45 countries carrying tools that transform the life in prisons in a much positive way. More than 350,000 people benefited at the global level. Look at all the work at the international level here. Http://prisonsmart.org/

"If the people get sick, we take them to the hospital and give them the correct medicine to improve. If the behavior of the people is sick, we bring them to jail, but we forget the medicine"
