Juan y Medio has recently participated in an emotional visit to the Huelva Penitentiary Center. This year marks the 25th anniversary of the prisoners' pilgrimage to El Rocío, a unique tradition in Spain that represents a path of faith and reflection for inmates.
During his stay in prison, the presenter has been especially requested by the inmates, who have expressed their desire to listen to him and share experiences. In addition, women have especially asked her about how to deal with loneliness.
In this context, the communicator from Almeria has given a speech focused on education, life decisions and social justice. "Sometimes because of their education or lack of it, because sometimes they don't have another way out or believe that they don't have one and taking shortcuts sometimes has consequences that I'm not going to explain to you, who know more about this than anyone else," has regretted.
Juan y Medio has continued his message with a reflection on how society judges people who have committed crimes, emphasizing that everyone is exposed to situations that could lead them down the wrong path: "There is a moment in which, less in my opinion, there is a moment in which one has friendships or knowledge or situations in which one borders on crime, one can participate in it, one can hide things because one is young, because that world draws one's attention, because there is a person who You are very impressed by his personality and suddenly he doesn't lead you on the right path.
His speech has also struck a chord with empathy, referring to how people outside prisons could benefit from understanding the realities that prisoners have to face: “I wish some of those out there would have to go through what you go through so that you would find out what real life is and the damage you really do to society.
The Andalusian presenter has also assured that there are also people in freedom who, in his opinion, should be behind bars for a while: "You are not worse than many of those who are out there, but no way."
In addition to listening to the speech, this year's pilgrimage consisted of 18 prisoners participating in the days of walking to El Rocío, traveling a total of 60 kilometers in search of inner peace and spiritual renewal. This activity not only strengthens faith, but also represents taking steps towards reintegration and personal change.
