Sepa, Nuestro Señor de los Milagros

A record of a bold and troubling experiment in criminal justice - Sepa, an open-air penal colony, created in 1951 by the Peruvian government, deep in the Amazonian jungle. Tasked with growing crops on these colonized lands, the inmates were permitted to roam freely and commune with their families, yet they soon found themselves abandoned and forgotten by their country and the world at large.
