Concentration camps aren't subject to the usual rules and regulations for prisons and are outside the law. This nearly always means that penalties in camps are much harsher than would be permitted in a prison in the same country. The guards are not held to account for excesses. It also usually means that deaths in camps aren't investigated seriously - or at all.
Moreover, concentration camps are usually for people who have not been sent there by a court. In other words, they are sent there without due process, simply on the orders of the government.
For example, in Nazi Germany homosexuals who were tried and convicted of homosexual acts by ordinary courts were generally sent to prison; but in cases where the 'evidence' consisted of rumours and hearsay - against whom they was little or no solid evidence - were sent to concentration camps.
