The Cellular Jail does not need an introduction as it stays in all of our hearts as a national memorial. It remains as a silent witness of how the freedom fighters were imprisoned and tortured by the British. The Andaman Islands were used by the British to exile notorious criminals immediately after the First War of Independence.
Earlier known as 'Kalapani', the Cellular Jail is located in the capital city of Port Blair. The jail was called Kaala Paani because all around the jail was the sea and hence no prisoner could ever hope to escape.
