Long Binh Jail (also called LBJ or the "LBJ Ranch" or Long Binh Stockade) was a U.S. military stockade located at Long Bình, in the province of Dong Nai, South Vietnam during the Vietnam War. It was generally referred to as "Long Binh Jail", presumably favored over its formal name Long Binh Stockade for the sake of abbreviating it "LBJ" and thereby referring to then-president Lyndon B. Johnson.

Famous quotes containing the words long and/or jail:
“I see slip to the curb the long machines
Out of whose warm and windowed rooms pirouette
Shellacked with silk and light
The hard legs of our women.”
—Karl Shapiro (b. 1913)
“To long for that which comes not. To lie a-bed and sleep not. To serve well and please not. To have a horse that goes not. To have a man obeys not. To lie in jail and hope not. To be sick and recover not. To lose one’s way and know not. To wait at door and enter not, and to have a friend we trust not: are ten such spites as hell hath not.”
—John Florio (c. 1553–1625)
