Female inmates at the Najayo prison in San Cristobal are learning useful skills and will be getting paid for their work, according to Attorney General Radhames Jimenez Pena. Jimenez, who was in Najayo yesterday touring the prison installations, commented on the work being done by the women who work in a cafe, a small shop and in a bakery located inside the prison. The facilities, which were also inaugurated yesterday, could provide products that can be sold within the jail and to people in the surrounding area. Jimenez said that this is part of the new penitentiary model that seeks to rehabilitate inmates.
