The fashion label made in a notorious Peru jail
For many years San Pedro prison was famous for being the most dangerous jail in Peru. There were frequent violent riots in which people were sometimes killed. Overcrowding continues to be a problem with more than 11,000 inmates living in a space designed for 2,500. But things are changing for the better thanks to a fashion label created by an ex-Chanel designer. Reporter Jane Chambers went to meet Thomas Jacob of Project Pieta and some of the prisoners involved.
