In the local prison of Agadez there are 405 inmates. 19 of those are minors at the age of 13-19 who live in their own separate area consisting of an outdoor area, toilet, water supply, a small sand spot dedicated as mosque and an indoor area of 30m2 working as a dormitory. They are here because of poverty: They have committed crimes, have been involved in the illegal migration industry or have ended up in bad company and done drug trafficking. Like other young men Bangis has dreams for his future. But in the least developed country in the world the way from dream to reality is hard to pave. Bangis has comitted a crime and therefore he is prisoned in Agadez, Niger. But where prison often is a dead end, the criminal teenager has chosen a new path for his life by being part of a rehabilitation project in the Prison Civile d’Agadez. He is taught a craft with the aim of being independent upon release. With the reality on the other side of the prison wall sometimes being rougher than the one they are facing inside the prison, it is paramount to find employment. The point of the rehabilitation project is to prevent migration by helping the juvenile delinquents to open their own shop in Agadez - a city in crisis with no rightful employment found.
