Italy's first restaurant run by prison inmates welcomed customers to dine at the Bollate jail near Milan on Friday. Officially opened in October of 2015, this unique project helps prisoners reintegrate into working life from behind bars.
The restaurant, InGalera, which is often fully booked, offers the finest Italian cuisine at a middle range price. Commenting on the ground-breaking new enterprise, one inmate stated "the inmate has to work. If he sits still he goes crazy," adding that "we need to understand what it means to work, I consider it helpful."
The restaurant manager Silvia Polleri believes that the catering industry can help people who break the law. "It's very important for people that have never worked in their life," stated Polleri, adding that "this is the first restaurant in Italy managed by people who are serving a term of imprisonment in jail."
Restaurant InGalera seats 50 guests and also caters for groups, vegans, guests with food allergies and even boasts a kids menu.
