What Life Is Like For Children Who Are Raised In Prison

Anahi Was Three When She Went To Prison With Her Mother

Camps photographed Silvia Rodas living in a cell with her daughter Anahi, who was four at the time. Rodas’ daughter was three years old when her mother was convicted and received special permission to keep Anahi with her until the age of five. Rodas was sent to prison at the age of 19 for robbery and attempted murder. She spent time in every single prison in the Buenos Aires province. She moved around a lot due to bad behavior. She wound up in Bahia Blanca, the final place that would accept her. These days Anahi visits her mom behind bars, who is serving a 15-year sentence.
