Inside the regime's brutal prison system. This prison was built inside an ammunition compound just outside the town, 5 km into the desert. Libya. 28th August 2011

This prison was built inside an ammunition compound just outside the town of Ajdbiya, 5 km into the desert. A prison inside a prison. The cells had one small bared window with no bed or toilet and the size was only 1.5m by 2m. Not even enough space to lye down in, all the walls were painted black with just a small beam of light coming from the window. . The walls had graffiti from the prisoners telling their story. Names of their loved ones or just phonograph images.
