Unit 9 was the prison where the brutal military dictatorship held thousands of political prisoners, separating their leaders into two Death Rows, only to murder them without trial. Not only would the prisoners be murdered by the army, but their families as well. The struggle for life and dignity was renewed every day, and will, ingenuity, and humor were weapons of resistance.
