This book foregrounds the contradictions between Frelimo's socialist ambitions and the reality of its carceral regimen. Rather than rehabilitative institutions, the party's camps were spaces of social abandonment where detainees suffered at the hands of overseers and endured wretched conditions in remote rural sites.
