In the South African prison system, the lives of the inmates are dominated by the rule of the Numbers gang, a highly organized yet ruthless cadre who will stop at nothing to retain their self-imposed order. Produced for the BBC, Cage of Dreams goes inside the walls of the prison to expose the lives of the enforcers of this often merciless code. The inmates’ lives seem beyond rehabilitation, but an innovative effort by the Centre for Conflict Resolution helps the men take account for years of shame and brutality in their own lives. The Cage Unlocked provides an intriguing follow-up on two former leaders of the Numbers gang as they attempt to become reintegrated in society following their release from prison.
