In general, there is not much work
in the camp, so officers and warders in the camp have looked
for jobs for prisoners because they do not want prisoners to
sit idle. This is a form of re-education for prisoners who
once violated laws, thus helping them correct themselves and
find joy from work It is glad that in fact the behavior of
prisoners in the camp have changed. In the camp, whenever a
prisoner is ill, his/her inmates will inform the camp for
medical care. When families of prisoners provide food and
other necessities, these prisoners share with one another,
although prisoners may come from different localities such as
Hanoi, Thanh Hoa, Nghe An, Ha Tinh, etc. According to the
camp's warders, the camp maintain an average work load for
prisoners which help them correct themselves.
In the camp, there are no gap
between prisoners and warders. In fact, there are works which
both warders and prisoners jointly work.
Warder Hoang
Van Nguyen, who has worked for the camp for 25 years, said
that the behavior of warders had great impacts and impressions
on prisoners. It was important not to shout or revile at the
prisoners. Warders should learn about prisoners' psychological
conditions and whenever, they do their work
excellently, they should be praised and encouraged and when
they do any thing wrong, they should be warned and corrected.
In the camp, the sentiment between the warders and prisoners
could help narrow their gap.
We met Hoang Van Kien, a prisoner
to learn about of his information about the coming amnesty on
the occasion of the National Day, September 2. He seemed to
know very clear about the conditions for a prisoner see if he
had any information on the coming amnesty on the occasion of
the National Day, September 2. He seemed to know very well
about the conditions for a prisoners to be released ahead of
their sentence servicing time. According to the chief warder,
the selection of prisoners for amnesty is conducted in an
equal and democratic manner. It is glad that the list of
pardonees suggested by the camp is the same as that selected
by prisoners themselves.
