The project was implemented in the Rebibbia women’s prison, which places great constraints upon the personalities of its inmates via restrictions on conduct and self-expression. Personalities tend to even out to conform to norms that are equal for everyone. The project’s idea was to offer a series of six game-based workshops to inmates, with each event focusing on a specific topic: prison through the eyes of women, beauty, health, flavours, expedients, and writings.
The final output of the project, the book Ricci, limoni e caffettiere. Piccoli stratagemmi di una vita ristretta, which has been widely distributed in correctional facilities, bookstores, and libraries, aims to portray its authors as women first and inmates second, and to highlight their knowledge as opposed to their criminal record, and their authoritativeness as opposed to their marginalization.
