Since we were cut off from the outside world and couldn't meet our families, we ended up building intense friendships in prison. We were in a ward where there were children, many of them were born in prison, and it was heartening to see many of them being brought up collectively. It's not that there were no conflicts and fights, but there was also a sense of being in it together. Women were always braiding each other's hair, we played ludo [a popular board game], we learnt so many different ways of braiding hair.
