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 remunereted 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 destinated to textile landfills and incinerators.
