The Cellular Jail, also known as Kālā Pāani (Black Water), was a colonial prison situated in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, India. The prison was used by the British especially to exile political prisoners to the remote archipelago. Many notable dissidents such as Batukeshwar Dutt and Veer Savarkar, among others, were imprisoned here during the struggle for India 's independence. Today, the complex serves as a national memorial monument.[2]

    The concept of belonging is derived from the sense of identity; to be able to merge and feel part of a community an one must find their identity. For an individual to belong within their environment their identity can be put to jeopardy, they have to either conform to ideal views and become part of society or choose to be isolated. Although in contrast to choosing whether or not to belong, individuals are often forced to be secluded.

    Excerpt From Birmingham Jail

    It was in Burma, a sodden morning of the rains. A sickly light, like yellow tinfoil, was slanting over the high walls into the jail yard. We were waiting outside the condemned cells, a row of sheds fronted with double bars, like small animal cages. Each cell measured about ten feet by ten and was quite bare within except for a plank bed and a pot of drinking water. In some of them brown silent men were squatting at the inner bars, with their blankets draped round them.…

    Prison Cell Research Paper

    The prison cell walls are cold hard concrete walls, they are rough too the touch, the smell of concrete dust from the carving of the previous cellie fills the air. The three concrete walls and the metal barred door are more intimidating that a hungry grizzly bear finding his first meal in months. You never get used to the metal barred door slamming behind you, it just sends a chill down your spin like you're in the middle of a frozen lake and the thin ice is slowly cracking beneath you. The wall to your left as you walk into the cell is a not so plain concrete wall because it is covered with the carvings from myself and other prisoners. The far wall has two small slits over seeing the prison courtyard. I often wonder if I would be able to squeeze through the slit but hold off in fear of having my sentience extended.…
