People who strayed from the path of society and chose an easier life. The criminal underworld proved anything but favorable to them. Their crimes landed them in prison. Some have served years, others arrive as new inmates with the same criminal tendencies, and some are repentant for their misdeeds. "Nothing is lost," as the saying goes. At the Sarita Colonia prison, behavioral rehabilitation courses are offered to inmates who wish to reintegrate into society. They start from scratch, learning to read, do basic math, participate, speak, and help others. The instructors are responsible for this, though it is a long-term process. Interaction is crucial. The inmates begin to form alliances, not based on rivalry, but on faith. The rehabilitation program begins when the prisoners set aside their internal conflicts and start building friendships. This creates a chain of solidarity among them. A shared laugh seals the success of the rehabilitation program. The efforts of educators toward inmates bear fruit over the years, or the duration of their sentences, so to speak. Some inmates begin to see the light. A new beginning, a chance to return to their families and reintegrate into society. Whether we are good or bad citizens, freedom will depend on the internal struggle of each one of us.
