The prison tells the story of a violent and brutal episode in Buganda's history. It speaks of a paranoid, power-hungry king who, in 1888, imprisoned all his brothers and sisters – save for just one Mwanga – an exiled king he had replaced – and later brutally murdered them for fear that they might dethrone him!
Today, the prison is a quiet and shaded site, but the surviving earthworks are a vivid reminder of warring times when the fate of the kingdom hung in the balance.
