Prison beauty pageant

Last week’s Friday was a special day at Rio de Janeiro’s maximum-security prison for women, as it hosted its annual beauty pageant for its inmates.

The prison selected ten inmates to style their hair, don dresses and swap their cells for a catwalk. One prisoner said that even though she was imprisoned, she did feel like it for a moment.

The participants of the event were judged not only on their beauty but also their sympathy and attitude. A crowd of 440 inmates, as well as their relatives, cheered them on. Apart from the prison’s pageant title, the winner also received a fan and a hair straightener.

The event’s aim is to improve the inmates’ self-esteem and give them a chance to meet with their loved ones.
