Long-term exposure and inhalation of compounds released by chicken poop is harmful to humans as well as animals.
City officials later apologized for their actions and promised to cleanup the site.
The holding cell was located on the ground floor.
Above this was a chicken coop.
The floor of the coop was perforated that caused bird poop to rain down on the poor prisoners below.
The prison was known as Khuk Khi Kai, or chicken poop prison.
The French colonist used Khuk Khi Kai to imprison locals who resisted the French occupation.
But somehistorian believethat the story is apocryphal, and that the building was only an observation tower.
