Ebou Colley and Ebrima Chongan have given us a glimpse of the atrocities that occur at Mile II Prisons. I have no doubt that there're countless other inmates whose stories are more horrifying. Some have been scarred for life while others, such as the late Sadibou Hydara, never had a chance to survive the torture. It is a blessing in disguise that both Colley and Chongan fell out with the APRC government. Otherwise, I sincerely doubt that we would have ever had such first hand information about what transpires behind the walls of Mile II. I urge such people to emulate Papa Jeng and publish their ordeals for greater public consumption. Mr. Jeng's book, Detained, constitutes an indictment of the former Jawara government for some of the atrocities committed against Gambians in the aftermath of the 1981 putsch. Maybe someday, we will get a full and truthful account of how Koro Ceesay lost his life or how the military officers died on November 11 - 12, 1994. I believe that in due course anyone who committed such abuses since President Jammeh came to power will be similarly exposed.
