Why are the prisoners forced to clean the camp?

The prisoners are often forced to clean the camp as a form of punishment, humiliation, or control by their captors. This task serves to reinforce the power dynamics within the camp, reminding prisoners of their subjugation and stripping them of their dignity. Additionally, it can be a means of maintaining a semblance of order and discipline among the inmates. Cleaning often becomes a grueling, dehumanizing experience that further emphasizes their suffering and loss of autonomy.
