At three thousand nine hundred meters above sea level, just outside La Paz, a place designed for punishment smells, unexpectedly, like warm bread.
In Qalauma, young Bolivians in trouble with the law shape metal, stitch cloth, and carve wood—practicing, quietly, the hard art of returning.
During the event, López announced a broader “Feria de la Productividad” across the penitentiary system in La Paz, including Qalauma, timed to the Alasita season.
This gateway serves La Paz, to exhibit and sell products made by people deprived of liberty, he told EFE.
