 | | MOCOA, Colombia, Dec 2 (IPS) - Aleida Cuarán, 36, was sentenced to eight years in a Colombian prison on Jan. 24, 2001. |
 | | Cuarán is from Mocoa, the capital of the southern Colombian department (province) of Putumayo, an oil-rich zone that is one of the poorest parts of the country, and one of the hardest-hit by the armed conflict and drug trafficking. |
 | | In Mocoa, 150 children of 80 female prisoners are, like her daughters, going from home to home, trading work for a roof over their heads, meals, and in some cases, the possibility of attending school. |
