The three black and white photographs featured here by Zbigniew Libera were taken in 1982 at Hrubieszsw Prison in Poland. Libera was a political prisoner there for 6 months because of his activities for Solidarnosc.

These photos are extremely rare glimpses at life in prison during the height of the Polish crackdown on Solidarity. Libera was kept in handcuffs during his stay in Hrubieszsw. These images have never been shown before in public.

More work by Libera will be featured throughout the month of March 2000. Click on the Biograph link for more information.
