In Cartagena, Colombia. Convicts have been serving up gourmet meals at the Interno in the all-women prison since December, in a novel experiment intended to promote the inmates rehabilitation.

For almost a year, inmates at a prison in Colombia have been getting a taste of freedom by serving food to outsiders. 

The project aims to help them gain skills - and regain their confidence. 

The restaurant opened in December last year and was inspired by a similar project in the Italian city of Milan
