6 June 2012
The story of Rosa Julia Leyva reflects the brutality of the Mexican prison system for victims of the war on drugs. In her testimony we observe the abuse of authority, the continuing violations of human rights and criminal sentences that are completely disproportionate. Julia Rosa offers testimony to the ideal of a new society for younger generations to have a better future. She calls for change in drug policy and the rule of law in the country.
