#ConstitutionHill in Johannesburg is a former prison, now hosting the Constitutional Court of South Africa. "Number Four" also known as the "native" prison saw activists the likes of #Ghandi, #Mandela, and #Sobukwe, among others. The conditions in 4 and 5 (the solitary confinement cells pictured here) were a gross violation of human rights. Guards utterly humiliated black prisoners, many whose only crime was being black, while their white counterparts were treated like royalty. #CapeTownPhotoEssay takes #Johannesburg!
