Best Answer

Both Soviet gulags were and North Korean Concentration Camps are mass prisons for detention and torture of political prisoners and undesirables. They were not generally designed for actual violent criminals (murderers, thieves, rapists, etc.), but for people who committed a thought-crime or violated restrictive speech laws (political activists, democracy promoters, religious advocates, etc.). China has a similar type of system called the Laogai.
