Interno

Restaurante Interno in Cartagena was a pioneering and deeply impactful dining establishment, operating within the San Diego women's prison until its closure in 2019. It was renowned globally for its unique social reintegration model, providing incarcerated women with invaluable culinary and service skills to aid their re-entry into society. Patrons, including celebrities and dignitaries, experienced a compelling blend of Caribbean flavors prepared and served by the inmates themselves. The ambiance, though set within the walls of a prison, was transformed into a vibrant and welcoming space with tropical decor, floral murals, and comfortable seating, aiming to foster reconciliation and offer a 'second chance' to its staff. This extraordinary venture was not merely a restaurant but a beacon of hope and a testament to the transformative power of opportunity, with all profits directed towards reintegration programs for prisoners across Colombia.
