Con Son Island


 

Con Son Island is an island off the coast of southern Vietnam. The French colonial government called the island "Poulo Condore" and established a prison there in 1861, for the purpose of housing political prisoners. In 1954, it was turned over to the South Vietnam government who continued to use it for the same purpose.
