Anatomy of an Incarceration

Mada Masr

Anatomy of an Incarceration is a six-part series of naked narrative, depicting and exploring the political prison experience ElGendy had undergone in Egyptian prisons.

From welcome parties of torture, to the excruciating transport vehicle "the sweat box", the tragic yet warm visitations, life inside a cell, and the incessant fear of being forgotten and left behind, ElGendy lays the world behind bars bare for readers to vicariously live the six-year experience of incarceration in Egypt.
