Bogota, Colombia -- The Buen Pastor prison in Colombia's capital, where 2,222 women are serving their time, has been hosting beauty pageants for 18 years. Often, local TV and musical celebrities would serve as judges.
There are no age restrictions, and there is a separate category for unmarried women.
This year's beauty contest was held last Friday, September 27, 2013. Six women competed for the title of 'Queen Mother' ('Reina Madre'). The pageant is usually held on the day when the Virgin of Mercy, who is a patron saint of prisoners, is celebrated.
The majority of women have been convicted, or awaiting trial for drug trafficking.
Organizers of the event say women, though being imprisoned, have not forgotten their feminine side.

I believe you're using the nigerian version of criminals to assess these ladies.

This is awesome news.a typical example of what a prison should look like.
A Prison should be a rehabilitation centre where you pay for your crimes by serving time just to teach you the consequences of going against the law and helping you to become a better person.

It shouldn't be a place where you're treated like an animal irrespective of whatever crimes you committed.it should train you to respect the laws.

With things like this.this woman have little chances at suicide or coming out of prison and still commit crimes.they probably will find space in their hearts for joy and happiness.elements of darkness and coldness will be eradicated.This is a nice development.Very commendable.
