Phu Quoc Prison, also known as Coconut Tree Prison, is a historical site located on the island of Phu Quoc in Vietnam. The prison was built by the French colonialists in 1949 and was used to imprison Vietnamese revolutionaries who fought for independence from French rule. During the Vietnam War, the prison was also used by the South Vietnamese government to detain political prisoners.
The prison was notorious for its harsh treatment of prisoners, who were subjected to torture, starvation, and forced labor. The cells were small and cramped, with no windows or ventilation, and prisoners were often kept in solitary confinement for months on end. The prison also had a "tiger cage" area, where prisoners were kept in cages that were too small for them to stand up or lie down.
Today, the prison has been turned into a museum, with exhibits detailing the history of the prison and the stories of the prisoners who were held there. Visitors can see the cells and the tiger cages, as well as artifacts and photographs from the prison's history. The museum serves as a reminder of the atrocities committed during the Vietnam War and the struggle for Vietnamese independence.
