121 The Ham Tan camp system stretched from eastern Long Khanh Province (postwar Dong Nai Province) into western Binh Thuy Province, which the Communists had reconfigured after the war and renamed Thuan Hai Province.Because the Ham Tan camp system was not activated until after the war, the postwar names of the provinces are generally used to describe the two provinces in which the camp system was located, i.e., Dong Nai and Thuan Hai.Some former inmates even referred to the Ham Tan camps just by the names of the two provinces, calling them the "Dong Nai-Thuan Hai camps."
