Breakwater Prison

Cape Town, ZAplace

About

Today it's Cape Town's Graduate School of Business, but in the past this complex housed thousands of prisoners whose hard labour helped build the V&A harbour. Look out for graffiti carved by convicts in an old slate wall beside the solitary confinement prison cells, and for the treadmill that was once used for punishment.
