This Argentine Prison Cooperative Ended Recidivism
[]

Inside a maximum security prison in Argentina, Liberté offers more than education and recreation for incarcerated people—it offers lessons in solidarity.
Just meters away stands a library where several men either watch an educational program on television or immerse themselves in books.
According to official statistics, last year less than half of people incarcerated in Argentina were involved in an educational program.
“In 2021, the head of the Penitentiary Service told me he had received many calls from various places interested in replicating our self-managed model,” Pampa recalls.
Prisons in Neuquén in southern Argentina and Rosario and Victoria in the north have expressed interest in Liberté’s work.
