Yahoo! News - Jail Offers Violent Inmates Aromatherapy

Esta nota causó indignación entre la sociedad ya que se tomo por el lado de: "Spa para asesinos y violadores"


Inmates at a jail in Ciudad Juarez on the U.S. border, where more than 300 women have been murdered over the past decade, are enjoying aromatherapy and piped classical music as part of a novel rehabilitation program.



This month the prison authorities began burning scented oils and playing soft music for a group of 25 "violent and disturbed" inmates.


"It is a unique program to help the most psychologically and socially damaged prisoners, whose grave crimes have shaken society," prison governor Arturo Herrera told Reuters.


"We play them Mozart and give them occupational, play and aroma therapies to relax them for evaluation."


The group receiving the special treatment includes murderers and rapists serving up to 40-year sentences. They will be integrated into the mainstream prison system once they have been evaluated.
