Frida arrives in La Cana

The prisoners found out that there were puppies rescuing people and the next day they contacted Daniela to tell her that they could knit them, sell them and use those funds to help. That same day they already had a sample of what the stuffed animal would look like, they created it from what they were told since they do not have access to television. “With this initiative you are not only donating, in exchange you receive a beautiful Frida that will remind you daily of the solidarity of Mexicans and the way in which that day EVERYONE, from dogs to people in prison, came together to rebuild our country. This tells us that wherever you are you can do your bit and help.” Daniela Ancira All funds will be donated to Échale a Tu Casa because it is a project that the La Cana team knows personally and knows to be trustworthy. 100% of the money will be used to rebuild collapsed homes.

On August 23 we had the official inauguration of the Comprehensive Social Reintegration Program for Women Deprived of Liberty in the Chiconautla prison, Ecatepec where we had a day of many smiles and a lot of enthusiasm. The day consisted of a gathering with food and a gift to welcome the inmates to the La Cana program. During the event, we have the presence of the specialists who will teach the different workshops of the program as well as a brief presentation of what will be carried out in each of the workshops in order to familiarize the inmates with the topics. During this semester, eight different workshops will be held: Yoga, Wisdom of the Heart, Life Postcards, Reading Circle, Personal Image, Mandalas, Textile Embroidery and Weaving, and Art Psychotherapy. At the end of the day, we had an excellent response from the women who showed a lot of interest and enthusiasm in participating with us. Now we have more than 100 inmates registered in the different workshops.

The Dangerous Consequences of a Failed Penitentiary System
Daniela,
12 Jul 2017
THE DANGEROUS CONSEQUENCES OF A FAILED PRISON SYSTEM Abuses, corruption, self-government and mistreatment are part of the daily routine experienced by those deprived of their liberty in our country. We know that human rights violations, torture, the lack of health services and minimum hygiene conditions are the common denominator of our prisons and the daily bread of inmates. News such as the videos shown inside the Topochico prison showing abuses against inmates, riots in the prisons of Cadereyta, Nuevo León, 29 inmates escaped from the Tamaulipas prison, fights recorded in the Cancún prison, fires inside the prison of Barrientos in the State of Mexico, and the more than 1,200 complaints about human rights violations reported by the National Human Rights Commission in the last year - not counting those filed at the state level, and those that were not reported -, show us one thing: our prisons, far from achieving their goal of reintegrating people into society, have become specialists in creating criminals. As a society, we have become tolerant of such abuses, we are accustomed to hearing horror stories that occur inside our prisons without realizing how worrying it is to live in a country with a failed prison system, or what is more, without understanding that We all suffer the consequences every day as a society. Far from being interested in what happens in our prisons, there are those who come to think that people deserve to be victims of such treatment for having committed a crime – starting from the utopia that prisons are full of criminals, and not of people without access to an adequate defense, as happens in reality . Regardless of the social or economic reasons why a person is deprived of liberty, which sadly the vast majority do not correspond to their guilt in the commission of a crime, we cannot look away from this problem that affects us all. everyone: the terrible crisis of insecurity and context of violence in which we live. Given the corruption and lack of social reintegration programs within penitentiary centers, and the indifference that we as a society show in this regard, we should not be surprised that crimes continue to be committed from prison: extortion, kidnappings, homicides, and all types of crimes related to Organized crime continues to be carried out even when those responsible are deprived of their liberty. They say that prisons are a reflection of what happens in a country: How can we demand that our authorities punish this type of abuse, if we have become a tolerant society, accustomed to violence and mistreatment? How Do we expect our prisoners to stop committing crimes if we do not give them new opportunities in life? How can we hope to become a safer society if we don't worry about what happens in our prisons? If we have learned anything until today, it is that insecurity cannot be resolved by isolating and separating, but by facing and addressing: we cannot turn a blind eye to what happens inside our prisons, and at the same time demand that there be no crime. We must unite as a society and stop tolerating violence, demand that our authorities guarantee and protect the human rights of those who are under their jurisdiction, because only in this way can we achieve change in our country. The country that we love so much and that needs us so much.
Workshop "Wisdom of the Heart"
Daniela,
28 Jun 2017
Last April 2017, a group of therapists and life coaches, volunteers from La Cana, began the "Wisdom of the Heart" workshop in the Barrientos prison, State of Mexico. This project aims to teach women in prison to meditate, that is, to find spaces of inner silence. In this workshop you will learn to go to the space of the heart, where your wisdom is. Living in the heart is the beginning of true freedom They will teach them to recognize their inner world, to become familiar with the different dialogues and to recognize the intelligence felt in the heart. In this way they will begin the true path to their freedom. It is a program that we are planning, disseminating it in different penitentiary centers. This team is made up of Lourdes Rubín, Janet Roldan, Erika Ballesteros, Laura Sánchez, Regina Álvarez, Pilar Santisteban, Lilian Kuri, and Silvia Salomón.
