A former political prisoner recalls the harsh life and torture of prisoners in South Africa's maximum security jail, Robben Island. After Apartheid ended and the prison was decommissioned, he became a tour guide there. "Coming here every day... it's because part of me is still left behind. That's why I came back here - to be able to deal with my past."
