Millo’s latest wall “Power of Imagination ” can be found in the juvenile penitentiary in Kremenchuk, Ukraine. The prison hosts around forty prisoners from the age of fourteen to twenty two years old who have committed crimes. The penitentiary is a special place for the inmates, who can spend up to eight years there. The prison focuses on education and everyday life, where there is a strong belief and desire to help these teenagers in their growth and adaptation to the adult life.
