In this six-part series, human rights activist Sam Smith* takes readers inside Pollsmoor through the eyes of Jack*, a veteran gang member who has spent much of his life in and out of prison. In Part 5, published on Thursday, an EST raid descended on Room X in the early hours – boots on bodies, a roommate beaten and left on the floor; the room ransacked and left in chaos. In today’s final installment of the series, Jack reflects on how he keeps ending up in prison... and why.
