Religion plays an important part in prison life; different congregations offer emotional support and counselling to help women cope with their time in prison. "We are here to rescue our souls and in this place of darkness is where we can find God" says Daisylene Correia de Lima (above) "this is my last hurdle in this life before I can find peace... in this place I am learning my greatest lesson". Daisylene is about to have her baby in prison and is suffering from placental abruption which leaves her confined to her cell.
