Phu Quoc Prison (Vietnamese: Nhà tù Phú Quốc also known as An Thoi POW Camp) was a military prison in Phú Quốc, southern Vietnam (today it is in Kiên Giang Province. The prison was built in 1949–1950 by French colonialists as a place to detain political dissidents.

During the Vietnam War, it was used for detention of captured Viet Cong and North Vietnamese soldiers. Many of the high ranking leaders of Vietnam were detained here. It is ranked a special historical relic of national significance by the government of Vietnam. The prison covers an area of 40,000 square metres (0.015 sq mi). The prison was closed after the country united, but is currently open for visitors.

Abusive Treatment of POWs in Phu Quoc Prison

A Red Cross team visited Phu Quoc Prison in 1969[1] and 1972.[2] Inspections from the ICRC found that many POWs showed signs of inadequate food supplies, poor medical care, and physical beatings.[3]
