Dragons & Butterflies: Sentenced To Die, Choosing To Live - Plot & Excerpts
Dusk was falling. We entered a huge quadrangle with lush green lawns and an array of colourful flowers and tall palm trees. To the left was a car park roofed with corrugated iron with a few cars in it. In the centre, at the end of the winding road, in all its menacing glory, stood a colossus of a building. Running off its sides were towering concrete walls. They stood there, solid and implacable, as if waiting to consume us. This was Bombat prison. The crush of men in the prison truck fell silent. Perhaps a collective realisation had suddenly taken hold. What horrors lay behind those walls? We could only imagine, but the fear and apprehension of men doomed to a life of imprisonment now became tangible. As we got closer to the building, the driver took a left turn and the vehicle suddenly gathered momentum. Our bodies swayed over and pressed up against each other. Further on, we took a right turn onto what was now a worn gravel lane. The next thing I knew, the truck came to a sliding halt, filling our nostrils and eyes with dust.
