Female Viet Cong prisoners, 1968

Female Viet Cong prisoners sewing in their quarters. Some 85 girls and women - 21 females are under the age of 18 - are interened in the camp that opened two years ago and houses a little less than 1,000 prisoners - 200 of which were captured wearing a North Vietnamese Army uniform. The women learn how to sew and are kept busy keeping the camp's administrative offices clean.
