That after having waited in a hallway in front of the prosecutor's office for 2 hours for some paper work to be processed. Only briefly did we get to see Nhantumbo before being locked away and he told us we would go to the \"Civil Prison\" in Tete (Cadeia Civil) and he was still optimistic, saying \"This is your way out!\"Little did we know..\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOh my God about 20 people on 20 m2, one of them with a fresh untreated gunshot wound to his knee, whimpering in pain. No toilet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe prisoners had designated an area for that. Oh the stink! It was really hard to breathe. After hours under these painful conditions where some prisoners were called out and the heavy steel door slammed shut again, we were led out as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe were brought to a truck where the load area was converted to a steel cage with primitive benches. It was driven by a prisoner. We later got to know him better. Paulo was the first guy that really looked like a hard core criminal, tattoos all over and all the bells and whistles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe did not feel too good at this stage. The diary that I kept in these ensuing days has been lost, so I will rather report on these days in Tete as it comes to mind. Caravan-Serai bizarre.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA pity that we could not take photos. Now I have to try and recreate the bizarre scenery that awaited us at \"La Cadeia Civil do Tete\". On the outside a quite nice looking white washed building with a large double winged wooden gate, inside the prison was a dirty square yard surrounded by cell buildings. Surrounded by 6 meter high walls the square looked vaguely like a market place in some Suaheli town in Tanzania. Densely populated by about 800 prisoners, the place looked like some market place, only with no goods to sell.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere was a raised podium with a corrugated iron roof that looked like people could sell fish or meat there, but it was referred to as \"the church\". While most of the square was just plain dusty trampled and eroded soil with remnants of erstwhile paving still visible to the \"archeologically trained eye\", the wardens had managed to fence in a little square of green grass where 3 trees including a palm tree were projecting a somewhat tropical image. This was in front of the admin block and strictly guarded. Nobody was allowed to trample on the grass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA \"Hotel Tropicana\" with limited leisure options...After we had already somewhat accommodated ourselves to the prison in Songo with its much smaller population, this was of course first frightening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe mass of prisoners alone. We were cowering in a corner under armed guard and were here finally stripped of our remaining personal belongings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe last orgone pendants and zappers that had still managed to keep in Songo were taken away. Bad luck as our health was slowly going down of course. Just after we had been delivered to the prison, the Mozambican TV team that had already interviewed us in Songo arrived.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur incarceration was restaged for the camera again. That's how news is made, in case you didn't know. After being processed in this way (they wanted to shave off Prophet's formidable dread locks, an idea they only gave up after an intervention of Nhantumbo) we were introduced to our cell bosses. (chefe do cela)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis was a pleasant surprise. They had quite an organised system in this prison. Apart from the \"chefe do cela\", with general responsibility for the cell, there was a \"chefe do segurança\", responsible for self policing of the inmates under his jurisdiction and a \"chefe do higiene\" who was responsible for keeping the cell, especially the ablutions, clean. The relation between prisoners and wardens was very different here than in Songo.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost of the time the 5 or 6 wardens on duty would sit on the small porch of the admin block, overlooking the prison yard. Rarely would they be found mingling with the prisoners. An economy of power and control. They were much more defensive, outnumbered as they were by the mass of prisoners and always carried guns.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMy cell boss, Aurelio Rato turned out to be a very decent man. He was a school teacher in Songo before he got thrown in this slammer, for beating up his girlfriend under the influence of alcohol. Apart from this one time lapse with fatal consequences he had been a \"valuable member of society\" for most of his life, having - amongst other merits - founded and chaired a charity that looked after the sick and destitute.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHis subjects were art and mathematics and he was even in prison still teaching classes in these subjects. They had a programme of alphabetization going were prisoners with little education could at least learn basic literacy on grade 4 level. He still had 2 years to go but was adamant that he would try and continue his studies at university after getting out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGenerally our relation to fellow inmates was quite good and after getting to know the main players of this weird society behind walls we never felt threatened by other prisoners that despite the fact that due to our status as \"terrorism suspects\" we were crowded in with \"Rape, Murder and Armed Robbery\" suspects and convicted alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSurely our fellow inmates were not all angels, but we never witnessed open violence of any sorts. The cell where Prophet and I were brought was about 5 x 7 metres (for nominally 92 prisoners!) and hat a small chamber of 3 x 1 metres that served as a \"casa do bagno\".\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRests of tiling and
