Modderbee

Modderbee is a prison in South Africa that is known for its horrible conditions and mistreatment of prisoners. What was once a gold mineing camp was not an over filled hell on earth for those unfortunate to break any laws or none but only cause inconvieniance to a white man. Marks mother greatly feared that if her husband went to modderbee he would never be the same upon return if in fact he returned at all as many prisoners perished in the appaling conditions.
