29、here we were ordered to strip while standing outside.One of the ritual indignities of prison life is that when you are transferred from one prison to another,the first thing that happens is that you change from the garb of the old prison to that of the new.When we were undressed,we were thrown the p

31、s,was given long trousers.Normally Africans would receive sandals made from car tires,but in this instance we were given shoes.Kathy,alone,received socks.Short trousers for Africans were meant to remind us that we were“boys”.I put on the short trousers that day,but I vowed that I would not put up wi

33、d betrayed no emotion.The old jail was only temporary quarters for us.The authorities were in the process of finishing an entirely separate maximum-security structure for political prisoners.While there,we were not permitted to go outside or have any contact with other prisoners.To be continued on t
34、he next page.BTLEWLesson 7-Mandelas Garden That first week we began the work that would occupy us for the next few months.Each morning,a load of stones about the size of volleyballs was dumped by the entrance to the courtyard.Using wheelbarrows,we moved the stones to the center of the yard.We were g
35、iven either four-pound hammers or fourteen-pound hammers for the larger stones.Our job was to crush the stones into gravel.We were divided into four rows,about a yard-and-a-half apart,and sat cross-legged on the ground.We wereTo be continued on the next page.BTLEWLesson 7-Mandelas Garden each given
36、a thick rubber ring,made from tires,in which to place the stones.The ring was meant to catch flying chips of stone,but hardly ever did so.We wore makeshift wire masks to protect our eyes.Warders walked among us to enforce the silence.During those first few weeks,warders from other sections and even
37、other prisons came to stare at us as if we were a collection of rare caged animals.The work was tedious and difficult;it was not strenuous enough to keep usTo be continued on the next page.BTLEWLesson 7-Mandelas Garden warm but it was demanding enough to make all our muscles ache.June and July were
38、the bleakest months on Robben Island.Winter was in the air,and the rains were just beginning.It never seemed to go above forty degrees Fahrenheit.Even in the sun,I shivered in my light khaki shirt.It was then that I first understood the cliche of feeling the cold in ones bones.At noon we would break
39、 for lunch.That first week all we were given was soup,which stank horribly.InTo be continued on the next page.BTLEWLesson 7-Mandelas Garden the afternoon,we were permitted to exercise for half an hour under strict supervision.We walked briskly around the courtyard in single file.To be continued on t
40、he next page.BTLEWLesson 7-Mandelas Garden Visits and letters were restricted to first degree relatives.This was a restriction we not only found irksome but racist.The African sense of immediate family is far different from that of the European or Westerner.Our family structures are larger and more
41、inclusive;anyone who claims descent from a common ancestor is deemed part of the same family.In prison,the only thing worse than bad news about ones family is no news at all.It is always harder to cope with the disasters andTo be continued on the next page.Long Walk to Freedom (excerpt 2)BTLEWLesson
42、 7-Mandelas Garden tragedies one imagines than with the reality,however grim or disagreeable.A letter with ill tidings was always preferable to no letter at all.But even this miserable restriction was abused by the authorities.The anticipation of mail was overwhelming.Mail call took place once a mon
43、th,and sometimes six months would go by without a letter.To be allowed one letter in six months and then not to receive it is a great blow.One wonders:What has happened to my wife and children,to my mother and my sisters?When I did not receive a letter I feltTo be continued on the next page.BTLEWLes
44、son 7-Mandelas Garden as dry and barren as the Great Karroo desert.Often the authorities would withhold mail out of spite.I can remember warders saying,Mandela,we have received a letter for you,but we cannot give it to you.No explanation of why,or who the letter was from.It required all my self-disc
45、ipline not to explode at such times.Afterward,I would protest through the proper channels,and sometimes get it.When letters did arrive,they were cherished.A letter was like the summer rain that could make even the desert bloom.When I wasTo be continued on the next page.BTLEWLesson 7-Mandelas Garden
46、handed a letter by the authorities,I would not rush forward and grab it as I felt like doing,but take it in a leisurely manner.Though I yearned to tear it open and read it on the spot,I would not give the authorities the satisfaction of seeing my eagerness,and I would return slowly to my cell as tho
47、ugh I had many things to occupy me before opening a letter from my family.During the first few months,I received one letter from Winnie,but it was so heavily censored that not much more than theTo be continued on the next page.BTLEWLesson 7-Mandelas Garden the salutation was left.The islands censors
48、 would black out the offending passages in ink,but they later changed this when they realized we could wash away the ink and see what was underneath.They began to use razors to slice out whole paragraphs.Since most letters were written on both sides of a single piece of paper,the material on the oth
49、er side would also be excised.They seemed to relish delivering letters in tatters.The censorship delayed the delivery of mail because warders,some of whom were not proficient in English,To be continued on the next page.BTLEWLesson 7-Mandelas Garden might take as long as a month to censor a letter.Th
50、e letters we wrote were censored as well;they were often as cut up as the letters we received.At the end of August,after I had been on the island less than three months,I was informed by the authorities that I would have a visitor the following day.They would not tell me who it was.Walter was inform
