A creative drawing contest on the theme "How beautiful this world is!" was held in 27 Institutions of the Department of the Penal Correction System, aimed at the rehabilitation and psychological support of convicts. This event is not just a way to occupy your free time, but an important educational tool that allows you to look at a person in captivity from a new, human side. The participants of the contest, presenting their works, talked about what their wonderful world is, remembering their families, hometowns, loved ones and the feeling of happiness that these memories fill them with.
The winners were rewarded with diplomas.
For the participants themselves, victory or even just participation is a powerful moral incentive. This is proof that their identity has not been erased by a court verdict, that they are capable of creating. The art behind barbed wire proves that even in the harshest conditions, a person is able to see beauty and reach for the light, tearing off the "gray veil" of despair from his eyes.
