Robben Island Prison
Memories of Apartheid

Barry visited Robben Island, where many were imprisoned as
political prisoners during the years of apartheid.  He met several former prisoners
who knew Nelson Mandela and shared their memories of those times.

Apartheid was even enforced
in the prison system.
