María lleva 15 años en prisión. Su único "crimen" fue ser una madre permisiva con un hijo adicto que buscaba en la calle el amor que ella no supo darle.  Condenada por la voz de alguien que dijo reconocerla, María recibió la misma sentencia que su hijo: 25 años, en una decisión donde los jueces copiaron y pegaron sentencias sin considerar su grado de participación real.

--------------------------

María has been in prison for 15 years. Her only "crime" was being too lenient with her addicted son who was looking for love on the streets—love she didn't know how to give him. Convicted based on someone's voice who claimed to recognize her, María got the same sentence as her son: 25 years, in a decision where judges literally copy-pasted sentences without considering how involved she actually was.

--------------------------

Sobreviviente de violencia doméstica extrema y pobreza, María cayó en el alcoholismo tratando de escapar de su realidad. En prisión enterró a un hijo, conoció a sus nietas, se casó y enviudó cuando asesinaron a su esposo dentro del penal. Aprendió, quizá demasiado tarde, a decir "te amo" a quienes más quería.

Hoy, María trabaja, estudia y se aferra a la esperanza de una reforma que le dé una nueva oportunidad, mientras su hijo cumple condena en Oaxaca, limpio de drogas por primera vez en años.

Detrás del número de expediente hay una mujer que aprendió demasiado tarde que el amor y la justicia no siempre caminan de la mano.

--------------------------

A survivor of extreme domestic violence and poverty, María turned to alcohol trying to escape her reality. In prison, she buried a son, met her granddaughters, got married, and became a widow when they killed her husband inside the jail. She learned—maybe too late—to say "I love you" to the people she cared about most.

Today, María works, goes to school, and holds onto hope for a reform that'll give her a second chance, while her son serves his sentence in Oaxaca, off drugs for the first time in years. Behind the case number is a woman who learned too late that love and justice don't always go hand in hand.

Ruthie's Table 4

Ruthie's Table 4

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
