reeducation camps
Forced ideological prisons
Reeducation camps are detention facilities where governments confine people to forcibly change their political views, religious beliefs, or cultural identity.
The term carries sinister connotations—what authorities call "reeducation" typically involves indoctrination, forced labor, and psychological coercion.
Associated with totalitarian regimes: Soviet gulags, Chinese detention of Uyghurs, Khmer Rouge Cambodia.
Dissidents were sent to reeducation camps for years.
