Ministry of National Defense Taiwan Military Prison (國防部臺灣軍人監獄) - Spectral Codex

A notoriously overcrowded and inhumane military prison established in a barracks near the Legislative Yuan in 1947. Many political prisoners were detained here, but with the mass arrests of the early years of the White Terror, capacity was limiting, and the prison was relocated to Xindian in 1952.

This project was founded in the early 2010s and has evolved into a sort of personal Wikipedia of places that interest me (and often the photographs I’ve taken there).
