Models Step Out In Prison Garb

[ahhGucci]

Well, in my veiw, the clothes arent that good anyway. Prisons should think about helping the prisoners to make a more legit occupation for themselves.
And Leyla, 'education in social behavior,' do you know that they tried to give this education to policemen, it didnt work, what makes you think a prison full of convicts is?
I agree though, prisoners should learn a trade, and perhaps the next Chanel is behind bars. You never know.....

What it said in the article is "to give specialist fashion industry training to inmates and prepare them for life on the outside"; this can't be a bad thing in my book. It doesn't exactly say what kind of training either; they might simply be trained to be skilled workers. We need those! And even if they are trained in design, it's not like everyone who goes through design school becomes a good designer... You need some artistry/taste/feeling for that.

And honestly, if this jail program should happen to produce what could be the Chanel of our century, wouldn't the fashion world gain by it?

I can agree to a certain point. Though I prefer they give this "specialist training" more to women out of jail and have no jobs. Like leyla said, they should be there for "social behaviuor." Though Space also has a point when he said "peopel go to prison for reasons beyond they just felt like robing some body ,a lot fo peopel come from BAD familys and BAD backroudns and they are not fortunet anof to stay in school, go to college, get a job. liek you or other people are." They might be doing what what brought them into jail out of their state in poverty so they should be given a chance.

i agree with that. prisoners workers in italy are a popular thing in the big fashion industry which moves its factories outside the country and goes in "poor" countries. or simply, where the labour is cheap - in prison, for example - in this case there is a "social" value you can advertise too. i doubt these people would have work once they are outside - as a free person you have some social rights which include to get payed enough to live. probably they will join the army of unimployed fashion workers.

those crazy italians I've never heard about something like that. Here they educate prisonners for jobs like carpenter and such which I think is better cause it's more likely that they'll actually manage to do that for a living once outside.

there is a label actually made by prisoners, they make t-shirts with their graphics and thoughts, it's called "made in jail": http://www.madeinjail.com/Prova_Struttura/frameset.htm
