The human face: TNI/WOLA video series on drugs and prison in Latin America

25 August 2010

This series of videos features people who have endured harsh and disproportionate sentences for drug-related crimes. The videos are part of a Transnational Institute (TNI) / Washington Office on Latin America (WOLA) study investigating the prison systems of eight countries in Latin America. These personal stories illustrate the unjust impact of current drug laws on the most vulnerable individuals of society.

Three videos are currently available:

  • Drug laws and prison in Ecuador
  • Drug laws and prison in Mexico
  • Prison overcrowding in Brazil
