Emily’s visit to Hoa Lo historical relic was for the research on histories of prisons around the world. She finds and collects information related to prisoners’ living conditions through different periods, especially female prisoners, so as to propose solutions to improving living conditions and ensuring their benefits. After the visit to Hoa Lo, Emily attended teaching at The Singapore Prison Service with similar content.

After the visit, Emily had noted her thoughts on her visit:
“Thank you for such a wonderful experience of history. My name is Emily Salisbury, Ph.D. I am a professor of criminal justice at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. I travel worldwide to consult with prison administrators to improve conditions for women prisoners, as this is my area of research expertise. I will be training the Singaporean Prison Service on this very topic. Before that training, I decided I must visit Vietnam to pay my respects to the people as an American. Whereas I travel, I always try to visit historical prisons to continue to learn more and engage in cultural history. It is an excellent tour and all the relies and authenticity is appreciated. The Hanoians and Vietnamese are beautiful people and a warmth surrounds them. Thank you for a beautiful experience.”
