Photographer Ian Pace got an insight into life at the Corradino Correctional Facility, from washing lines zigzagging across inmates’ bedrooms to loaves in the bakery
Upon entering the Corradino Correctional Facility, inmates are searched, registered and examined by a medical doctor. Then they are assigned to a division. Prisoners are followed up by various professional services offered at the facility, namely social workers, psychologists and teachers.
Glancing in a cell provides the viewer with a basic description of the assigned inmate’s character.
All inmates receive a gratuity. However, those that work receive extra income.
The bread slicing machines. 2,100 large Maltese loaves, 3,900 buns and 1,150 French sliced loaves are produced weekly at the facility.
Every cell has two-way intercom or an assistance call button.

One of the cells in the old part of the prison facility. Right: An internal view of an old cell. Each one is equipped with the basics like a bed, a wardrobe, a stool, a table, desk and shelves. Other equipment that inmates are allowed to have include a laptop, TV, PlayStation console and radio. However, these must be bought by the inmate or by their relatives.
The cells in the highest security division contain only the very basic needs. No extra frills.
