Have lunch inside Pollsmoor Prison

Go through the gates of Pollsmoor for one of Cape Town’s most unusual lunches, where low-risk inmates nearing release cook and serve remarkably inexpensive canteen food as part of a rehabilitation and job-training programme.

BEFORE YOU GO
This is inside a working correctional facility. Enter via Glenbrae Avenue off Tokai Road, allow for security procedures and bring photo ID. Photography of inmates or prison staff is not permitted. Calling ahead before making a special trip is advisable.
