concentration camp prisoner

Interned against will

A concentration camp prisoner is a person held in a concentration camp—a facility where people are confined without trial, typically under brutal conditions.

The term most often refers to those imprisoned in Nazi camps during World War II, including Jews, political dissidents, Roma, and others targeted for persecution or extermination.
