Día de Visita – Mexico City
“Día de Visita” or Visiting Day, documents family life for teenagers locked up in pre-trial detention in Mexico. Satudays and Sundays parents can freely visit their children who have been arrested. Many also visit during the week if they can but some kids don’t receive any visitors because their parents can’t make the trip into the city, they don’t have any parents, or their parents don’t know they are locked up.
