What is so interesting in that place is that you can see how bad life is at the prison,and they named the Museum 1I Gangsters because they combine 26,27 and 28 which are basically the numbers that r being used by gangsters most the time which turned to be 81 but they changed that to 18 because most of the things we do in South Africa you need to be 18 years to do some other things such as votes,able to buy alcohol etc.Purpose:Date Unveiled: Unknown Designer: Unknown Builder: Unknown Person/Institution Commemorated: 18 Gangsters Museum Recorder Name: Pamela Mbobi
