Chess in prisons
Juan Antonio Montero. Psychologist, director of the program and director of the Club Magic Extremadura Deportivo-Social
The prison in Badajoz being somewhat larger, between the two they guard a little over a thousand prisoners. The immense majority of them are men, a pattern that is repeated in Spain and everywhere else, with slight variations: between 5 and 10% are women, no more. Registration to participate in the two workshops of our program is logically voluntary only problematic inmates are restricted, otherwise anyone can participate. In our case the percentage of women participants is very high although there is talk in some forums of discrimination against women in prisons, as far as we know, in workshops of any kind, there has never been any.
