  • I don't think passing judgment on locations is needed.
  • The prison was designed and used for 6 years by the previous government but became famous when it housed thousands of political prisoners in the early 80's. Last mass executions took place in 1987 here and by early 90's regular inmates were introduced to the prison for the first time. History will one day accurately register the atrocities committed during this period and as a one time detainee (one more than one occasion,) I look forward for the opportunity to add my own accounts of torture and murder that took place here.
  • we would all love to hear your accounts of torture and murder
  • Thurday night is pizza night.
