prison sentences. we aren't allowed to share their names or crimes because i've been in this prison for 14 years. so i'm paying for what i did back in 20082010 that i used to have some real issues. so for support, i mean those, i definitely made a big mistake, but i've changed and i just keep learning the story. for now they're mostly baking penny. tony, a traditional italian christmas kate the pony tony from his teacher. he a jump to in the prison or some of the best in italy. even pope francis has ordered some said, which is not his real name is proud of his success. he's worked here for 3 and a half years. we make great products and i'm honored to be able to do this work. it does me good to put myself into my work here,

murders, mafioso and others who have committed serious crimes are imprisoned here. only those with good conduct, but still facing long sentences can work is baker's. otherwise, it's not worth it to train them. the head, pastry chef counts the knives at the end of each day, just to be on the safe side. here they also learn to follow defined rules and schedules, and to respect their superiors. you need to be humble, patient and ready to learn, or you won't make it far in here. and pony tony does require patience. it takes 72 hours to make the sto, traditionally candied orange peels and raisins are added, but also chocolate ginger, fix, and lavender. my favorite type is with the raina and new get. everyone has their favorite kind of tony, depending on their tastes. and i think we make 1400

a day their shift begins at 4 in the morning. it takes 3 days before the pony tony is done and it's typical paper wrapping. once they're out of the oven, said and his fellow bakers hang the cakes upside down. we turn them over fresh out of the oven. that helps them keep their round shape while cooling. this will afford them off for the inmates send their finished pony, tony all over the world. $100000.00 a year starting at 30 euros apiece, plus the chevy. a giotto has even been hosting a cafe for a year now in the center of pod why? the company is making a profit. almost everything here is from the prisons. pastry shop. many customers have no idea these fine trees were baked by criminals. really nice. are they really, are they good faith for this? so i know the cakes were made in prison. that makes them all the better and

hopefully helps the people. and besides, they're excellent qualities. the inmate bakers do actually have regular employment contracts and they receive a proper salary my way just don't just help me but also my family. they need the money. many of the prisoners send a pony tony home for christmas on days. when i get out i can work as a pastry baker in the past the jetting. yeah. yeah. and i'm studying at a hotel management school so i can into that profession later. and it's not just a dream force. i need very few of the former prison bakers end up returning to a life of crime. one has even opened his own pastry shop, straight from the streets at bowie and t. u. d. w fell in for us,

a really big part of our identity size. moving tight and dirty pet. the stars named after the small town town who in the very east of germany, saxony region, are shipped all over the world as christmas decorations. around 700000 are created every year, all by hand. it takes you on a bod, around one and a half hours to make one of her limited edition small stars. the this yearly, this is the most difficult part. the folding decimal gets the folding that really counts. getting that perfect cone with a beautiful tip, the kind of thing you know and making edges fit together exactly so that the star hasn't even shakes done like maces. the stars originated in the moravian church of the brethren,

one of the oldest protestant denominations and christianity the front office and the oldest record of the stars being made in hand. hood schools dates back to 1810. i'll think about volumes and seemingly as a part of teaching geometry to children, domestic partners and, and when i, myself was a student that handled school in clinic said we also learned this in our math class . now. dish down, simple, easy, extra organs use of the star symbolizes jesus christ to i can be reached. he says it's actually our most important symbol. invite not just a hand but really a sign of god's light shining into the darkness and jesus christ. i'm coming to us . this happened to him stands that big guy worked on the star myself. i would we made it in our congregation with a large group of 40 people and cut out the individual points and glued them together. oh, excuse me. there are a lot of wonderful memories associated with it. you know, when a 1925 business man peter hensley,

could be filed of, happens for the 25 pointed star and its current shape nearly a century later. the hand who'd factory greets more than $60000.00 star lovers each year for a behind the scenes look at how the stores come together or to craft their own doesn't need to complete. it's not that hard once you get the hang of it and get it . yeah, they're just wonderful to look at the houses and you get a warm welcome when you come home, so to speak. spanish. i think that's the beauty of the stars on the professionals. also custom make stars in different sizes for churches, christmas, markets, or shopping malls. these are made from plastics for longer durability, like this one, measuring almost 2 meters across the wall. it's leaky all in this number slips. and while i used to work in the streets and mocked and dressed and for many years, and i could see the tower of the file and choose the church from our sales booth

and click and at the top of the church, there was of course, a large yellow, a 19 type star hanging there, which i helped to make. boy, that always may be proud. now this does help on this one change starts off with or large or small. for many people around the world, the christmas spirit it arrives with a glow of a hand hoot star. that dogs at the very resilient animals, they can withstand sub 0 temperatures and to live at the top performance in the middle of ice and snow. only the past competes in the don't sled race nicole or the se in the west of france. in the french out the region of civil house, the dog sled race like holland otc. the system as well as mine, man is one of $66.00 musters taking part. she and her team of dogs are competing in
