Phu Binh Prison Camp

A prison camp built in 1971 on Con Dao, also called the "American-style tiger cages", where the liberation of Con Dao began on 1/5/1975

Located on Nguyen Van Cu Street, Phu Binh Camp, also known as the American-style tiger cages, or Camp 7, was built in 1971, in the later period of the Con Dao prison system, alongside Phu Phong, Phu An and Phu Hung camps. The site belongs to the Con Dao Prison Special National Relic, recognised by the Prime Minister on 10 May 2012. The camp covers more than 2.5 ha and consists of four sections, AB, CD, EF and GH; each section has two rows, each with 48 isolated cells. This is where the uprising to liberate Con Dao began at around 1 a.m. on 1 May 1975; by 8:30 a.m. the same day, Con Dao was liberated, closing 113 years of the prison system's existence. Phu Binh Camp is the final stop on the signature route Museum – Governor's Palace – Pier 914 – Phu Hai Camp – French tiger cages – American tiger cages, and is included in the relic site's combined ticket. When visiting, dress respectfully.
