The cellular jail was built by the British in 1906 into the gigantic structure we see today.
There was an open jail in Andamans before the fortified cellular jail was built.
The jail during its glory days consisted of 7 gigantic wings that had hundreds of cells that were used to house political prisoners.
The tales of horror committed by the raj still echo in the corridors of the remains of this gigantic structure.
During the British raj the jail was notorious for its isolated location and unforgiving conditions.
It was referred to as the Kalapani jail among the freedom fighters in mainland india during the independence movement.
Kala is a reference to death which was considered to be the inevitable end for those doomed to serve time there and Pani which means water was a reference to the remote location of the cellular jail.
The waters of the Andamans were feared by the prisoners. This island was isolated from the mainland and there was no means of escaping this place.
Location- Cellular Jail, Port Blair, Andaman and Nicobar Island 🏝️
