Long Binh Jail

Long Binh Jail

Long Binh Jail (also called LBJ or Long Binh Stockade) was a U.S. military serviceman's prison located at Long Bình, in the province of Dong Nai, South Vietnam during the Vietnam War. The prison was established in 1966 and turned over to the South Vietnamese in 1973.

On August 29, 1968 a notable incident occurred when prisoners staged a riot which led to the death of Private Edward Haskett. [Kalb, Joe. [http://www.historynet.com/long-binh-jail-riot-during-the-vietnam-war.htm "Long Binh Jail Riot During the Vietnam War"] , "HistoryNet.com"]
