Summary edit

Description
Nederlands: In deze gevangeniscel zoals de vele andere cellen die zich bevinden in deze gevangenis die gebouwd werd in 1872, werd sinds de afschaffing van lijfstraffen en de doodstraf volgens Nederlands wet sinds 1870 ook in Suriname gevangenisstraf de norm. In het fort werden gestraften aan het werk gezet als dwangarbeiders. In één cel zaten 9 tot 15 personen zonder verkoeling of hygiënische voorzieningen. Tijdens de Tweede Wereldoorlog zaten er mensen uit Nederlands-Indië in deze gevangenis. Ze werden verdacht van sympathie voor de Duitsgezinde Nationaal Socialistische Beweging (NSB). Ook de bemanning van het Duitse koopvaardijschip de Goslar, dat in 1940 tot zinken werd gebracht in de Surinamerivier, en daar nu nog light, zat hier in de gevangenis. In de jaren zestig en zeventig hadden gevangenen meer bewegingsvrijheid. Ze moesten werkzaamheden verrichten op het terrein en in de omgeving van het fort.
English: In this prison cell like the many other prison cells in this prison built in 1982, imprisonment also became the standard punishment in Suriname after Dutch law prohibited corporal and capital punishment in 1870. In the fort, convicts were put to work as forced laborers. There were 9 to 15 prisoners in one cell, without any cooling or hygiene facilities. During the Second World War (WW2) people from the Dutch East Indies were interned in this jail. They were suspected of sympathizing with the German National Socialist Movement (NSB). The crew of the Goslar, a German merchant ship that was sunk in the Suriname River in 1940 and that is still there, were also imprisoned here. During the 60s and 70s, the prisoners were given more freedom to move around. They had to work on the grounds in the fort's vicinity.
