Summary/Abstract: The drastic regime of prisons, camps, forms of detention as such hunger, cold, fear, death or survival have become the subject of numerous historical, political, sociological studies, but also of memoirs, diaries and autobiographies that have demystified the communist project. I.D.Sîrbu became a victim of the proletariat dictatorship for seven years and he served his sentences in Jilava and Gherla prisons, in Periprava, Grindu and Salcia labor camps. He will never regret this experience because for the man who „did not lose his lampˮ in prison, detention was a test through which he gained self-control over his own being.
