On 1 July 1952, after the Taiwan Taipei Detention Center was separated from the Taiwan Taipei Prison, its official name changed to "Detention Center of the Taipei District Court, Taiwan." In 1975 it was relocated to Tucheng District, New Taipei City. Many political prisoners were held here and it became known as the "First Lockup Under Heaven."
