Number four prison building. Black men during apartheid were tortured and incarcerated for breaking racist laws or fighting for their repeal. The journey to Number Four, the dark heart of Constitution Hill, deepens the visitor's understanding of what it means to be placed at the bottom of the racial hierarchy and how the apartheid system made criminals of black men. Prisoners such as Mahatma Ghandi, Robert Sobukwe, Nelson Mandela and the Students of the 1976 uprising know this prison all too well. Constitution Hill, Johannesburg CBD, South Africa.
