Image(s) of the Day: Mr. Mandela’s Prison Cell
I hope to write more about Nelson Mandela and his time in prison in a few weeks. But for today, here are a couple of photographs of his prison cell.
“For 18 of his 27 years behind bars, he was housed at Robben Island west of Cape Town in an 8-foot by 7-foot concrete cell with only a straw mat to sleep on. He was eventually released from prison on Feb. 2, 1990.”
