Julia aka La China has been convicted of robbery with her husband. As a repeat offender she is serving her fourth term in prison. Upon each release she returns to live on the streets and sniffs glue with her friends. Her younger child sits in the pram in the ladies bathroom. She is pregnant with her second child.


There is only one prison in Honduras that holds only women. The Penitenciaria Nacional Femenina de Adaptación Social, based in Tamara, 40km from the Honduran capital Tegucigalpa, holds 700 female prisoners and is the only facility in the country where infants can live with their mothers. The prison is home to 49 children, and six more babies on the way
