Kala Pani jail:

Mach Jail is one of the most dreaded prisons in the country. It is known by the honorific Kala
Pani (black waters) because of its location in a deserted area surrounded by rough and dry
mountains and harsh weather conditions. The town is always sleeping, and the tall dry
mountains frequently scare even a normal person. One can only imagine the psychological
plight of prisoners in that location.

The prison itself is located around 60 kilometres southwest of Quetta Valley. The small town of
Mach is 10 to 15 kilometres far from the prison. This huge prison was constructed in 1929 by
the British colonial rulers who brought the freedom fighters to this isolated location for the
toughest kinds of punishments – far from the public eye.
Cellular jail:
The Mach prison is often compared with that horrendous prison of India — the Island of
Andaman -- which became infamous for the notorious prison called Cellular Jail. That prison
was constructed by the British with a special purpose to incarcerate the Indian freedom activists
away from the Indian mainland in order to weaken the revolt against the British Raj. It stands
today as the symbol of the dark side of the colonial British Empire. However, now the prison
turned into a ‘Memorial of Freedom Fighters’.

Spread over an area of 60 acres, Mach Jail houses 825 prisoners at a time. At least 61
prisoners have so far been executed since 1978 in Mach Prison.
