Italy's Mega Prison

Synopsis

Rebibbia, Italy's largest high-security prison, accommodates inmates serving long sentences, including notorious mafia members and traffickers. In an innovative approach to rehabilitation, Laura Andreini Salerno leads a theater program that invites these convicts to participate in creating and performing plays. This initiative occurs three times a week in a dedicated performance hall, providing inmates with a rare opportunity to express themselves and engage with their fellow prisoners and wardens through the arts. The program aims to explore the potential of theater as a tool for personal transformation.
