Summary In Afghanistan, women accused of 'moral crimes' such as running away from their husbands are sent to jail for several years, sharing their cells with murderers and other criminals. But for some of these women, life is better behind the walls of Thakhar prison than it is outside with their husbands and family. These extracts from Nima Sarvestani's documentary film No Burqas Behind Bars tell the story of life inside the jail, where 40 women and 34 children share four cells.
