Tan Hiep prison historical site

Tan Hiep Prison, also known as "Correctional Training Center" or "Reformation Center", located on National Highway 1, Tan Tien Ward, Bien Hoa (Dong Nai), is one of the six largest prisons in Southern Vietnam and the largest prison in the Southeast, built in an important military position, guarding the Northeast of Bien Hoa.

In front is National Highway 1; behind is the North-South railway. This is an isolated location, convenient for traffic, easy for protection, guarding, receiving prisoners from other places and transferring prisoners to Con Dao, Phu Quoc. This is a "battlefield without boundaries" where revolutionary soldiers without weapons, without a piece of iron in their hands, every day, every hour have to confront, fight fiercely under the brutal hands of the enemy with countless examples of bravery, indomitability, steadfastness, maintaining integrity, keeping faith in the Party, loyal to the Fatherland even though the enemy tortures and imprisons them to death.

The relic is a typical evidence of the crimes of two wars of aggression by French colonialists and American imperialists and their puppet governments against the Vietnamese people.
