labor camps
Detention with toil
Labor camps are detention facilities where prisoners perform forced physical work, typically under harsh conditions.
The term most often refers to punitive systems like the Soviet gulags or Nazi concentration camps, where political prisoners, dissidents, or targeted populations were confined and exploited: Millions perished in Stalin's labor camps.
Some countries maintain labor camps for criminal rehabilitation or political repression.
