Hoi An Prison, commonly known as Xom Moi Prison, or Quang Nam Re-education Center, was built in 1960 to hold cadres, soldiers and compatriots in all localities in Quang Nam and other provinces.
In 2007, Hoi An Prison was recognized as a provincial relic by the provincial People’s Committee. The restoration project started in 2012, on the basis of thousands of pages of collected documents and hundreds of opinion votes.
The “Hoi An Prison” Relic Gallery received 62 artifacts from former prisoners, 3,390 resumes and many other works. Initially, the place will be a space to display documents and artifacts, contributing to enriching types of sightseeing in Hoi An./.
