Serbian prison inmates make masks for Torino Fashion Week

It said that the 26 masks made by the inmates will be shown at a fashion show in the Italian city. Inmates at prisons in Sremska Mitrovica, Nis and Zabela as well as the women’s prions in Pozarevac have been designing and sewing masks since the coronavirus pandemic broke out.  

Some 30 inmates have undergone training with the support of the German NGO Help. The press release said the training has been ongoing for a year and that 10 more inmates are planned to go through it to help them get jobs once they are released.
