00:00In the programs of Mea Culpa seen so far, we have known the story of common and ordinary men whose stay in prison responds to their first incursion into the world of crime.
00:26Facts as serious as crime or kidnapping were committed by first-timers, so to speak, who come to commit a crime as a result of serious deviations in their scale of values, of a robbery or of uncontrolled aggression.
00:39Today's story is very different and will take us to know that world that so much concerns us Chileans, that of common crime.
00:47Oscar Ralph, the protagonist of this Mea Culpa, is a man who has remained for many years of his life in prison.
00:54He is a criminal who learned from a young age to steal, to commit robberies and even tries to kidnap a plane.
01:03In short, he is that kind of criminal who damages society day by day because they make you feel a permanent sense of insecurity.
01:11What is the bottom line of this problem? Where and how are these kinds of criminals born?
01:16Probably the story and testimony of Oscar Ralph will help us elucidate something of this dark angle of crime.
01:46We are in the public prison of Santiago. Paradoxically today this place does not exist as such.
02:08However, the memories of many who paid their Mea Culpa with prison still remain.
03:08This is the story of Oscar Ralph, a man who has lived for many years in prison.

04:18Chilean prisons certainly do not offer inmates certain possibilities of rehabilitation.
04:24On the contrary, they become for them true schools of crime.
04:31In this area, the prison enclosures are home to two large types of inhabitants.
04:37The first-timers and the usual criminals.
04:41Among the latter, there is a large percentage who are only the absolute result of an imperfect childhood,
04:48orphans of affection, and above all, very linked to the stages of poverty.
05:00The story of this character perhaps represents those hundreds of forgotten children of society
05:06who by some misfortune were born in the dark side of life.
05:11Oscar Ralph had an ignorant father who fled leaving only his last name and a mother who abandoned him for years.
