The inmates of the "La Joyita" penitentiary center in Panama have participated in a softball league. The inmates themselves prepared the playing field to carry out this sporting activity.
Softball has become a form of distraction and entertainment for the prisoners, allowing them to engage in activities that promote camaraderie and healthy competition. Preparing the playing field has been part of the inmates' effort to create a suitable space for practicing this sport.
One of the inmates commented on the importance of this activity for them: "Softball has united us as a group, it allows us to clear our minds and enjoy a moment of recreation." This initiative has been well received by both the inmates and the prison authorities, who have supported the creation of this league within the penitentiary center.
In addition to promoting sports practice, this activity has also contributed to improving the atmosphere inside the center, fostering cooperation and teamwork among the inmates. Through softball, the inmates have found a way to stay physically active and strengthen their bonds of friendship in an environment that is often adverse.
