Compilations of prison accounts

From various prisons, of which some seem to have been written by former inmates, including: an outline of sections/chapters and a Prologue describing Hilda and Rusty Bernstein's arrest on the 8 April 1960; accounts from the Rooi Hell in Port Elizabeth, and accounts of the practise of separating African prisoners at the Johannesburg Prison The Fort.

Some of the accounts and sections are incomplete, but all have been numbered throughout, pages 1-57.

Copies of the following: Notice issued by the Minister of Justice to terminate all activities in various political organisations, 1953; Notice issued by the Minister of Justice prohibiting attendance of any gatherings for two years, 1953; Permission granted by the Magistrate to attend the Cremation service of the late Mrs. A. Fischer, 1964.

Transcriptions

Also included are transcriptions for cloth pieces numbered 1-8, done by daughter Frances; cloth pieces numbered 1a-5a have not been transcribed yet. The messages contain no dates, but some give an indication of a day; they have therefor not been numbered in any particular sequence, pages 1-23.
