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.

I am a web application developer, photojournalist, urban explorer, and history enthusiast passionate about the open web and documenting my experiences on this planet. 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). I’m originally from Toronto, Canada, but spend most of my time residing in Taiwan.
