Firkauf, the Central Jail in Kabul, Afghanistan

On September 3, 1978, I was released from jail in Kabul, Afghanistan. On the way out, they handed me my camera, which had been taken from me three months earlier. Surprisingly, there was still live film in the camera. I was able secretly to snap this shot as I was being taken to the gate on the way out of the jail. A rare photo from inside an Afghan Jail.
