“In Colombian prisons, women deprived of liberty can be with their children until they are three years old, then they go with a guardian, a family member, and if there is neither figure, they go to Family Welfare. […] We have always worked with the children of people deprived of their liberty. Five years ago I met a baby with whom I had a special connection. We were entering the courtyard of justice and peace of the Good Shepherd, we were going to do an activity, I think it was yoga, and there was the baby. I remember that they gave her to me as if by chance, like: ‘Oh, keep her for a second’ and that’s how I met her,” Bahamón said in the interview.
