Two inmates from the Bollate prison who work in the kitchen share their perspectives about the outside and how to become reintegrated in society. Both agree that it's not easy but that inmates are people, too.

Said talks about how working gives a person dignity. He feels changed and reiterates that one always returns to one's roots, to the person they were before ending up in prison. No one was born a thief.

Davide tells how he lives in semi-freedom, allowing him to spend half the year at home. However, this comes with obligations that must be respected. Davide has learned to see the world from a different perspective and this has taught him a lot.

"An inmate is not a walking crime". This is how Silvia emphasizes that the inmates are people with everyday lives and their personal stories, and deserve some respect. It is healthy for people on the outside to become familiar with what prison is and can be.

Silvia and Chef Davide are discussing a reservation, and she maintains that Davide should be more flexible regarding the changes communicated by the customer. Silvia also talks about what "alternative measures" are all about.

Silvia talks about how she finds candidates for the restaurant kitchen from the central kitchen, which prepares the meals for the inmates.
