Long Binh Jail, a U.S. Army Installation Stockade established in 1966 by the U.S. Army, was located on the Long Binh Post in Đồng Nai Province, South Vietnam. Meant to hold 400 American prisoners, it soon overflowed to about 1000.

Dr. Cecil B. Currey’s research and book titled “Long Binh Jail: An Oral History of Vietnam's Notorious U. S. Military Prison” focuses on the riot that took place between August 29-September 7, 1968. A small group of African-American prisoners started setting fires to mattresses and trash, which later led to buildings being set on fire. Eventually around 200 prisoners joined in the riot which was fueled by racial tensions and rampant drug use. There were a number of injuries to both the Military Police and the prisoners with one fatality of a prisoner. The riot turned into a revolt against the U.S. Army which lasted about 1 week.

The base was turned over to the South Vietnamese in February 1973.
