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.
