Tiflet 2 Prison, a name that resonates with fear, isolation, and relentless hardship. Located near Rabat, Morocco, this maximum-security facility is notorious for its brutal conditions: prolonged solitary confinement, limited medical care, and an oppressive atmosphere where survival itself becomes an achievement.

For Scott Lumley, Tiflet 2 was more than a prison. It was a crucible of suffering and transformation. A visionary entrepreneur chasing bold dreams, Scott's missteps led him behind the prison's unforgiving walls, where the reality of confinement shattered his world. Attacks on his life were constant, the isolation was suffocating, and every moment became a battle to endure.

Scott's experience is not unique within the walls of Tiflet 2. Sahrawi activist Mohamed Lamine Haddi endured a 69-day hunger strike to protest his treatment, languishing in prolonged solitary confinement and denied essential medical care. Similarly, journalist Omar Radi, imprisoned for his investigative reporting, faced severe restrictions, raising concerns about the suppression of free expression in Morocco.

Together, these stories underscore a chilling reality: Tiflet 2 Prison is not just a place of punishment but a symbol of systemic neglect, oppression, and suffering. Yet, Scott Lumley's time there is also a testament to the power of resilience, humility, and redemption.
