Description
Enemy prison facilities across Laos are listed and estimated in a January 1969 CIA paper. The heading promises a list of prison locations, with further detail the title cuts off. Compiling such a list meant merging years of sightings, escapes, and local reports.
An inventory turned scattered fragments into a system officials could grasp. It showed where captives were concentrated and where the map stayed blank. Planners used it for rescue thinking; historians now use it to size the secret war's hidden prisons. The paper is less a story than a census of places most Laotians already feared.
