La Isla de los Niños Perdidos plot

With 1900 inmates, La Modelo in Tipitapa is Nicaragua's largest prison. Most cells are filled with boys in their early twenties who have been convicted of robbery and murder, often of members of rival gangs. Documentary maker Florence Jaugey organized a video workshop for the boys so they could capture everyday life in prison. After a short course, ten guys started filming. They interview each other about the debilitating lack of privacy and fresh air, the maddening routine and paranoia that plague many boys. They should always be on their guard.
