Greek prisoners kick their way to rehab

ATHENS - Behind the concrete walls and barbed wire of Greece's largest maximum security prison complex at Korydallos, a suburb of Piraeus port near the capital Athens, a friendly soccer game was hailed by inmates and their rivals from the "outside world" as a step on the road to rehabilitation.

Ahead of this Sunday's Easter celebration, a group of Greek sports journalists, technicians and actors crossed the gate of the jail that holds some 2,000 inmates to compete against a team made up of convicts and guards.

The hosts easily won 12-6, but at the end all participants celebrated as winners.
