Hanoi---Fireplace
Prison
The
locals
call
it
a
"fire
stove"
because
it
was
originally
a
village
of
ceramic
kiln.
It
is
worth
to
come
to
understand
the
tragic
history
of
Vietnam.
The
Stove
Prison
was
a
prison
built
by
the
French
during
the
colonial
period
in
1896.
It
was
called
"Maison
Centrale"
and
was
called
"Hanoi
Fireplace".
The
ridiculous
"Maison"
means
"home"
in
French.
It
was
the
largest
prison
built
by
the
French
in
North
Vietnam.
At
that
time,
the
major
political
prisoners
who
were
anti-French
colonials
were
locked
up
here
and
tortured.
However,
it
is
not
the
French
colonial
period
that
was
frightening.
After
the
founding
of
the
North
Vietnam
in
1945,
the
Furnace
Prison
became
a
national
prison
and
hosted
major
criminals.
In
1973,
the
North-South
Vietnam
War
broke
out.
At
that
time,
the
US
Air
Force
bombarded
North
Vietnam
and
some
bombers
were
shot
down.
The
pilots
were
imprisoned
here.
The
most
famous
one
was
the
US
Navy
pilot,
who
later
became
the
Republican
presidential
candidate
John
Mackay.
Yep.
Because
the
Viet
Cong
has
dealt
with
war
criminals
in
a
variety
of
inhuman
criminal
laws,
the
reputation
of
terror
has
given
the
US
military
a
"Hope
Hilton"
name.

河內---火爐監獄
當地人稱之為「火爐」,因為此地原是製作陶瓷的窯爐的村落
很值得前來了解越南一段慘烈的歷史
火爐監獄是法國人於1896年殖民時期所興建的監獄,名為「Maison
Centrale」,時稱「河內火爐」,可笑的”Maison”在法文是”家”的意思。
是法國人在北越所興建的最大監獄,當時反法殖民的重大政治犯,都被關在這裡凌虐、拷問。
然而令人聞風喪膽的並非法國殖民時期
1945年北越建國後,火爐監獄成為國家監獄,收容重大罪犯。
1973年南北越戰爆發,當時美國空軍全力轟炸北越,部分轟炸機被擊落,飛行員就被監禁於此,最知名的是當時是美國海軍飛行員,後來於2008年成為共和黨總統候選人的約翰·麥凱恩。
因越共以多種非人道刑法對付戰犯,恐怖的名聲令美軍為它取了個「河內希爾頓」的名號。
