VOICED: Convicts cook for tourists on Italy island

The video discusses a unique initiative on the Italian island of Pianosa, where prisoners from Elba Island work in a hotel as part of a reintegration program. Filippo, one of the prisoners, shares his experience of changing public perceptions about prisoners. The program, run by the San Giacomo Cooperative, requires prisoners to complete a significant portion of their sentences and demonstrate good behavior. Pianosa, once home to a high-security jail, is now a tourist destination. Despite financial challenges, the cooperative plans to offer professional training to further aid prisoner reintegration.

What was the requirement for prisoners to work on Pianosa?

In what ways does the initiative help prisoners reintegrate into society?
