From Wikipedia
Black Beach (Spanish: Playa Negra) is a prison located on the island of Bioko, in the former capital city of Malabo in Equatorial Guinea. It is considered one of Africa's most notorious prisons. The prison has a reputation of systemic brutality and negligence towards the prisoners. Medical care is often denied to prisoners and food rations are scarce, despite the United Nations' Standard Minimum Rules for the Treatment of Prisoners requiring minimal medical treatment for all prisoners. Torture, beatings, and rape are commonplace in the prison, as well as forced labor. Visitation of inmates is subject to a fee. The President of Equatorial Guinea, Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo, is a former Governor of Black Beach Prison.
