During the American Imperial War, the escaped regime built a prison for prisoners with an area of about 400 hectares, divided into 12 subdivisions. This is the largest communist Prisoner detention facility in the South with more than 40,000 revolutionary soldiers captured and brutally tortured by the enemy, of which more than 4,000 soldiers were loyal and heroically sacrificed.
Special National Historical Site Vietnam - Phu Quoc Prisoner Prison (abbreviated as Phu Quoc Prison or Phu Quoc Prison) is a living proof, marking the brutal crimes of the colonial and Imperialist regime, demonstrating the indomitable fighting spirit of the revolutionary soldiers.
Almost all tourists who have the opportunity to visit Phu Quoc Prison spend time visiting Phu Quoc Prison. Ms. Do Thi Ly (a tourist from Hanoi) had a second trip to Phu Quoc, every time she visited this red address. The rush time and schedule of many tourist attractions but the emotions of coming here for the first time always urged her to return and learn more about history.
"Previously, I mainly went to see the prison rooms, now I have the opportunity to go to the exhibition house. I myself was very moved because I saw our ancestors suffering, having nails in their bones, and I was very haunted. Seeing these living proofs, we are grateful and strive to raise our children well, continuing the heroic tradition of the nation" - Ms. Ly shared.
When going deeper into each prison room, where the scene of brutal prisoners being tortured was restored, visitors could not help but be haunted by the brutal and brutal acts that the colonial and Imperial armies have inflicted on political prisoners.
"Facing these painful artifacts and images of recovery, I promise to work hard and cultivate myself well, to become a civilized Vietnamese citizen" - Mr. Nguyen Viet Thai (a tourist from Can Tho) expressed.
Today, Phu Quoc Prison is a special national historical site, a place to educate revolutionary traditions for present and future generations. Every year, the place welcomes tens of thousands of visitors, including many foreign tourists.
