The Government Reformatory for boys in Tangerang was used from September 1943 as an internment location. Initially it held men and boys who, after being interned in Kesilir and Bondowoso, had spent several months in the prison in Tangerang. In February 1944 they were taken from the Reformatory to the 4th and 9th Battalions in Tjimahi. The Reformatory served thereafter from the end of March as an internment point for women and children from east Java and Tanahtinggi.
