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.
