VIDEO: Modern dance workshop helps inmates of Portuguese prison near Lisbon escape

In the Linho prison in Lisbon’s western suburbs, inmates participate in a modern dance masterclass.

Twice a week, the former prison chapel is transformed into a dance studio under the guidance of artist and educator Katharina Kamara, who has undergone psychotherapy.

The Corpoemkadea program prepares prisoners for social reintegration and allows them to take their minds off their problems.
