O archipelago in southern Vietnam today it is in Bà R? The prison was built in 1861 by the French colonists to jail those considered especially dangerous to the colonial government. Many of the high-ranking leaders of Vietnam were detained here. It is ranked a special historical relic of national importance by the government of Vietnam. The most famous site in this prison are the "tiger cages" vi:chu?
The French tiger cages cover an area of 5.475 m2, within which each cell occupies 1.408 m2, solariums occupy 1.873 m2, and other spaces occupy 2.194 m2. The prison includes 120 cells.
The prison was closed after the end of the Vietnam War and opened for visitors soon after. In 1861, the French colonial government established a prison on the island to house prisoners who had committed especially severe crimes. After the turn of the century, the prison held an increasingly larger population of political prisoners.In 1954, it was turned over to the South Vietnamese government, who continued to use it for the same purpose. In the 1930s, and Nguy? N An Ninh who died in the prison on August 14, 1943, possibly killed by his jailers for fear that he might be used politically by the Japanese. Sáu was executed at the prison in 1952 (though she was imprisoned at the police post outside of the prison). Not far from the prison is Hàng Duong Cemetery, where some of the prisoners who died between 1941 and 1975 were buried.
During the Vietnam War, prisoners who had been held at the prison in the 1960s and 70s were abused and tortured. In July 1970, two U.
Congressional Democrat representatives, Augustus Hawkins and William Anderson, visited the prison. They were accompanied by Tom Harkin (then an aide), translator Don Luce, and USAID Office of Public Safety Director Frank Walton. When the delegation arrived at the prison, they departed from the planned tour, guided by a map drawn by a former detainee. The map led to the door of a building, which was opened from the inside by a guard when he heard the people outside the door talking.
Inside they found prisoners were being shackled within cramped "tiger cages". Prisoners began crying out for water when the delegation walked in. They had sores and bruises, and some were mutilated. Harkin took photos of the scene.The photos were published in Life magazine on July 17, 1970. Some lesser known prisons are found on the eastern edge of town, on a street running north off ocean road across from Lo Voi Beach. Built in 1968, Phu An Camp (called Camp 6 until 1973) was part of the new jail system designed by the Americans. It had two rows of 10 chambers and four cells, and incarcerated those arrested in the Tet Offensive. Directly across the road is Phu Binh Camp or Camp 7.
Built in 1973, it contains American-style tiger cages. When President Duong Van Minh and the South Vietnam government surrendered on April 30, 1975, officials in Con Dao locked all the prison doors and fled. At 01:00 on May 1, 1975, Camp 7 was the first prison to begin an uprising that spread across the island. By 08:30 Con Dao was completely liberated.
