    The oldest prison in South Africa is in the Castle. It dates back to the time that the castle was build.

    My great, great great grandfather was held prison in the Castle prison in 1784. Way before the Breakwater prison.

    The castle never had a prison. Its a myth. The so called prison dungeon was use to store food, never prisoners. Dont believe the tourguides!

    I was a security guard here (graduate school of business and the hotel) for 2 years and this place is creepy AF at night around the treadmill and the roof

    It seems long ago, but it is just yesterday. My grandfather was born in 1902.

    ​@@user-ho8re8pm8iRudely fact checking budding youtubers has become a past time for many across the land. I guess saying something along the lines of 'I think you may have made a mistake...' is a lot more tiring than calling it a load of BS. At least he said please at the end🤷 Nonetheless, its a great video, even if it isn't the oldest prison, still a nice POV regarding the history of the first international gateway to this place we call home😊

    @@Kaang_Plays nope, it's outside the city limits so I guess you could technically include it in a nice way, but if people want to be rude, this obviously doesn't matter.
