Valerio Bispuri photographed prisoners, cells, but his camera was on something else. This was the lack of freedom that often precedes  the life of whoever ends up in prison.

The prisons he entered in Argentina, Chile, Uruguay, Brazil, Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador, Colombia and Venezuela are among the most dangerous on the Latin American continent. ”
