General Description of the project

Made in Carcere aims at giving to a specific category of people the opportunity to acquire technical and professional skills, so to be hired, receive a regular salary, but, above all, build awareness and regain a sense of dignity. This group of people is represented by Women, Men and Minors in detention, or subjected to limitations of personal freedom, who therefore live in a condition of marginality.

They are trained and remunerated for the production of manufactured products (such as t-shirts and bags) born from the (re)use of fabric samples and textile material donated by Italian companies, which becomes the raw material that would otherwise be destined to textile landfills and incinerators.

Objectives

Implement a new model of “circular social economy”, that is capable of self-sustaining itself in a regime of free competition, also supporting the environment and improving the life condition of marginalized people.
