Where were American gi imprisoned by Americans in Vietnam?

US POWs (Prisoners of War) consisted primarily of US Airmen, aviators belonging to the USAF and USN air units. The bulk of these airmen had been shot down over North Vietnam during the air war (over the north). Since these airmen had been downed over the north, and since the targets were in the north, the POWs were held in the North (Vietnam)...scattered through out the nation. Any enemy POW camps in South Vietnam would not have been secure, and would have ultimately been raided by the alllies.
