2. Travel guide to Can Tho Prison

Can Tho Grand prison is an important historical site to visit in the city. It was initially built by the French colonists from 1878 to 1886 but then was used by the South Vietnamese and Americans during the Vietnam War, as a part of colonization to hold all those Vietnamese revolutionaries and citizens who dissented against the regime. Vietnamese dissenters and revolutionaries were held in cruel conditions, tortured and executed within the walls. The prison has 21 large and small rooms divided into two ranges: female prisoners and male prisoners, and some special rooms to detain dangerous prisoners, a church, pagoda, a house for the supervisor, and a kitchen. The mannequins depict certain scenes of what it was like in the prison when it was used, and they are quite eerie.

It is one piece of the evidence of war crimes of French colonists after their aggressive war in Vietnam. Through anti-French and anti-American resistance war periods, the colonists and imperialists used this prison to confine VC (Viet Cong) and people who were patriotic and fought against wars with horrible methods. If you visit there in a group, the local on-site guide will present more detail about the wars and the dead because of wars.
