As the prison expanded, its administration shifted to the French colonial penitentiary system. The collection includes some interesting 1950-3 censored mail including the use of dissolving fluids applied to the stamps to reveal potentially hidden messages under the stamps. The prison was operational until 1993. Total 35 items.
