Jailbirds
The bird project reforming South African prisoners
Can you reform prisoners by giving them parrots and lovebirds to look after? It's being tried at one innovative South African prison, with positive outcomes.
A new scheme called the Bird Project has been introduced by authorities in a bid to tame their charges. By hand-rearing birds in their cells, prisoners are given both companionship and a sense of responsibility.
