If we can understand and analyse Syrian identity under a prison microscope, we can protect Syrians. Over the past century, the Syrian Prison has developed and grown to play a supreme role in Syrian political life. It has evolved from a mere penal institution to a political space that reflects its impact on public political life outside it; then, it turned into an eternal prison, then an extermination prison. The Syrian Prison has a clear imprint on Syrian society and identity. Therefore, writing an autobiography of this prison is a great challenge. But how do we write the prison’s autobiography without official sources and government documents? How do the life narratives of former prisoners contribute to building the collective autobiography of the prison? Are the witness accounts of former detainees sufficient as the sole source for this process? What about oral histories? How can I, a former political prisoner myself, interview others to collaborate on writing the autobiography of the Syrian Prison that lives through us? What technique should be used for these interviews? If it is possible to write the autobiography of prison, how can this work help us understand and reshape Syrian collective identity? How can this research as a practice of life writing and memory work contribute to building this identity? These are the questions I seek to reflect on in this chapter.
