The prisoner
A prisoner in a Ugandan jail sculpted
this wooden statue in 1985. Inmates made
many such figurines, which were sold to provide them with
an income. This statue
was given to Hernan Reyes, an ICRC doctor, at a celebration
organized by both
wardens and prisoners during the first ICRC visit to the jail.
