The women in the Bolivian jail of Centro de Orientación Femenino de Obrajes have been incarcerated for life. In a legal system that offers them no ability to hire assistance, the majority of them carry thirty-year terms. Many have children with nowhere to go so they live in the jail with their mothers until they reach the age of twelve. After that, the children are on the streets, motherless.
