I went to jail to get this one!


This piece of furniture, built from prison blankets, is part of the "Resistance and Resilience" display at the Old Fort Prison Complex, commonly known as "Number Four".


This prison complex (now a museum) "where thousands of black men were imprisoned... it is also the place where many learned to survive and defy their jailors.


Many of the prisoners were guilty of non-political crimes, but many fell foul of race laws or were guilty of resisting these laws, such as Mahatma Gandhi and Robert Subukwe."
