Con Lon, the
largest of the islands in the Con Dao Archipelago, became a French penal colony
in 1862. Thereafter the prison became known as the ‘Hell of South East Asia’
where a total of over 200,000 prisoners were jailed and approximately 20,000
died in atrocious conditions. Those incarcerated in the prison’s infamous ‘tiger
cages’ and ‘cow cages’ by the French and South Vietnamese regimes respectively
included several leading Vietnamese revolutionaries. Today the many cells and
punishment areas of the prison’s eight main barracks are preserved in memory of
the Vietnam’s national heroes.
