Charlie relates being sent to, and eventually escaping from, Cay Cay prison in Tay Ninh. After his escape, he was given shelter and work by a farmer. I expressed surprise that the farmer would take the risk of aiding an escaped convict. A Vietnamese associate of mine, himself a former reeducation camp prisoner, concurred, explaining that people living near a reeducation camp know full well the consequences of harboring an escapee. The young Vietnamese man interpreting for Charlie, however, felt that sheltering an escapee was not unusual, given the disdain of the South Vietnamese for the Communist government and its skewed system of justice. He mentioned that his own sister had aided escapees and that his brother, escaping from police custody stemming from an unsuccessful attempt to flee Vietnam by boat, had been hidden by complete strangers. Unfortunately, that same brother was shot and killed by police in a subsequent attempt to leave Vietnam by sea.
