DPRK Gulag

Yesterday, I finished reading One Day in the Life of Ivan Densisovich by Alexander Sozhenitsyn. That book came to mind seeing these photos from Footage of N Korea's Prison Camp Aired on Japan's Fuji TV:

    Political prisoners carry human excrement from homes of guards and security officials at Yodeok Political Prison Camp in South Hamgyeong Province, North Korea.


    Political prisoners at Noth's Yodeok Political Prison Camp eat frozen cabbage leaves in order to sooth hunger. They hastily hide the leaves as soon as the prison guards come.
