Black Beach, located in Equatorial Guinea, is of one of Africa's most notorious prisons. It has a reputation for systematically neglecting and brutalising inmates. Medical treatment is usually denied to inmates and food rations are said to be meager.[1][2]

Black Beach holds a number of foreign prisoners sentenced for participating in a 2004 failed coup d'etat attempt against the Equatorial Guinea's president Teodoro Obiang Nguema.[1] Simon Mann, the alleged ringleader, has been extradited to Equatorial Guinea.[3]
