The Prison of the Annamites (Bagne des Annamites or Camp Crique Anguille) is a former institution in the commune of Montsinéry-Tonnegrande, French Guiana, built for Annamite prisoners who rebelled against French rule. It operated between 1931 and 1944, originating from the revolt of Annamite soldiers in 1930. After the revolt, around 535 prisoners were sent to three camps, with 395 assigned to Camp Crique Anguille to work on the development of Inini territory. The prison closed in December 1944, transferring prisoners to normal facilities. In 2012, the area around the former field was designated a protected area, notable for its flora and fauna, and in 2013, a trail was constructed for visitor access.
