BUENOS AIRES (Reuters) - Argentine volunteers are trying to bring a little cheer to children living with their mothers in prison by dressing up as superheroes like Batman, Iron Man and Princess Elsa as part of a wider program for vulnerable minors.

During a recent Reuters visit to the Unit 33 women's prison in Los Hornos on the outskirts of Buenos Aires, some 15 men and women transformed themselves into popular superheroes, as well as some villains, by wearing costumes from movies like "Frozen" and "Maleficent."
