The second time that Mandela was imprisoned on Robben Island was in 1964, and he was the 466th prisoner that year.[1] His prison number remained 466/64 until 1982, when he was transferred to Pollsmoor Prison and given the prison number 220/82.[2] "Prisoner 46664" continues to be used as a reverential title for him. Shortly before Joe Strummer's death, he and U2's Bono co-wrote the song "46664" for Mandela as part of the campaign against AIDS in Africa.
