Breaking the circle
Minors released from prison have no access to reentry programs. Some go back to the streets and try to survive; others receive support from various organisations.

































































This project is focused on juveniles in conflict with the law who have suffered incarceration under terrible conditions and the new realities they face in Sierra Leone. The juveniles are released after long periods in prison without rehabilitation. The photo essay follows the lives of minors released from Pademba prison, both those that have returned to the streets trying to survive and those taken care of by the NGO Free Minor Africa (FMA). This organization offers a social reintegration program through work and/or schooling.

Photograph
For more than 20 years I have photographed current affairs related to human rights. Some of these stories, such as child labor exploitation or minors in jail, deliver unquestionable evidence of situations that should be abolished or, at the very least, persecuted.
Documental photography is, for me, a life-affirming attitude, a tool that lets me approach situations that captivate me, preoccupy me, and make me want to participate.
Moreover, as photographer, I work and delve into subjects that transcend present time, but intrigue me for their experience and expose me to other types of lives.
