In this report from Mexico, Learning World looks at how American football has transformed the lives and prospects of young criminals.

The Panteras team brings together prison staff and inmates into an all-conquering unit that has won the Mexico City American football league.

It reflects a new approach by the authorities to dealing with hardened teenage offenders. They are succeeding not just on the field, but in the classroom as well, thanks to an innovative education programme.

Behind the success of this initiative is the 'Free Thought' foundation, that tries to advance young convicts' schooling, by offering special support.
