Killers don't cry
Description
For a hundred years, South Africa's prisons have held a dark and, until now, impenetrable secret. It is the secret of a tightly organised criminal gang network called 'The Numbers'. The men of the Numbers Gangs break their code of silence for the first time to reveal the inner workings of a fraternity that is almost mystical in the lifelong devotion it inspires in its members. After months of negotiation, reporter Allan Little was granted access to the secret world of the Numbers system, to witness a brave and, at times, breathtaking attempt by South Africa's new non-racial prison authorities to break the hierarchy of violence on which the Numbers system is built.
