Working for Pieta also helps prisoners to reduce their sentences, as it enables them to afford to sign up to academic courses. Doing this study results in their prison time being cut by authorities. "My sentence is five years long, but you can get out faster if you study for at least two years," says Daniel Rojas Palacios, 25. He has been working for Pieta for a few months. In addition to providing for his young daughter on the outside, he is using the money to pay to study textile design. "The course costs, and that's why I have to work a lot," he adds.
