Venice


Campo Santo Stefano. This kiosk in the central Campo Santo Stefano sells items made by male and female prisoners in the jails of Venice. The project named Malefatte, is run by the co-operative Rio Tera dei Pensieri which helps prisoners work inside the Venetian jails, and trains them in a craft, thus forming them for the outside world and society.
