changi prison

Changi Prison is a prison in the eastern part of Singapore. It was a prisoner of war camp used by Japan to hold Allied POWs during World War II. The Changi camp was situated in and around the former British Army barracks on the eastern peninsula of Singapore island. Despite its reputation, Changi was comparatively comfortable and of 87,000 POWs who passed through the camp, only 850 died. http://www.awm.gov.au/journal/j33/blackburn.htm James Clavell is one of the most famous survivors. He wrote about his experiences in the book King Rat. Currently, death row inmates are held here before they are executed by hanging every Friday morning.
