A group of fashion designers have created a local cooperative called 'Sartoria San Vittore' to help prisoners learn job skills. Female inmates have learned tailoring skills from cooperative members and have made costumes for theatre and television." - Reuters

Brilliant. All prisons should have programs like this.
Not as regressive as you think. It's actually an extremely common practice for prisons to offer vocational training for inmates. Yes, even in the U.S.
Visit UNICOR for details about the history of these programs.
raabia - that's good to know about.
I'm still concerned about the rising number of prisons and the rising number of imprisoned.
That's great.
Hmm, I also remember last year in Brazil there was a show in which the fashion was designed solely by prostitutes and other sex workers. Maybe it's not just Europe that offers these kind of programmes.
