This is the female penitentiary Santa Martha Acatitla in Mexico D.F. About 50 children live together with their imprisoned mothers. Normally, the children are taken away when they turn 6. Sometimes the penitentiary reminds a school with children running around. But when children are not present, some serious clashes can appear between inmates. From one hand, it is a good thing that children stay with their mothers, it helps them to get to know them but from the other hand, prison is not a place for a child and as for me, 6 years of life is too long for a baby.
