Description
The S-21 Detention Center in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, was a notorious interrogation prison during the Khmer Rouge regime. An estimated 20,000 prisoners were detained there and subjected to cruel and barbaric torture in order to elicit confessions. This abstract photo is of the coils of electric barbed wire that were placed along the high walls of the prison to ensure no one could escape.
