He has been walking corridors through certain types of prisons for a long time, and had been working as a volunteer in the National Penitentiary Service, when the Attorney General got a little closer to Liberté.

It wasn't cooperative yet, and that love crush with you took place, and that's how it could actually be done, it was because cell phones appeared in prisons in the province of Buenos Aires.

It was right in the middle of the pandemic that we met and we started going through meetings, conversations together and once you know Liberté you start telling other people about it, so a friend named Graciela, when commenting on the task of the space, told me that this was already a cooperative, since the way Liberté worked it included it in a cooperative mode.

Link to Credit Unions

It's like she was the first to visualize, discover the cooperative Liberté, so I introduced myself to Alberto Bavestrello, Pablo Rugeri, (FACC authorities), and that's how we came to the Association of Credit Unions, that was the way we started to form the cooperative idea for Liberté.

Self-managed enterprises in prison

Augman: increase self-management work in prisons
Currently, from the Penitentiary Prosecutor, I am also developing in complex 1 of Ezeiza, in module No. 3, a workshop, since the month of February on cooperativism and right now we are almost calibrating the start of a pilot experience, with a workshop of recycling on waste, where plastic is essentially recycled, and we are working with a network of cooperatives linked to plastic recycling, for which the present is to work with the prison world linked to Liberté, to the development of this entity and also in the federal level in infecting others and others so that they begin to put together their own self-managed ventures.

diploma

Regarding the opening day of the new diploma course carried out by Liberté in conjunction with the Faculty of Health Sciences and Social Work, of the National University of Mar del Plata, I highlight the presence of the former Judge of the Inter-American Court of Human Rights , Dr. Raúl Zaffaroni, and recalled that it was the Direction for him in his thesis work in his doctorate.

At the same time, Dr. in psychology Ricardo Augman, mentioned the impulse that the diploma course has taken that takes place from the same prison, since the participation of people has increased, where it can be seen that there are more and more penitentiaries that take part, as well as the prisoners, where the real interest in participating is manifested, especially when a figure has been thrown for this edition that exceeds four thousand participants in general.
