labor camps

Labor camps are facilities where large groups of people, often under coercive conditions, are detained and forced to work. Historically, they have been associated with oppressive regimes that exploit labor for economic gain or punitive measures. In such camps, individuals may face harsh living conditions, minimal rights, and grueling work schedules. While labor camps can be linked to political repression, they have also appeared in contexts of war and forced migration. The concept highlights serious human rights violations and the exploitation of vulnerable populations.
