Best Answer

In general terms, a concentration camp is a large detention center created for political opponents, aliens, specific ethnic or religious groups, civilians of a critical war-zone, or other groups of people, often during a war or state of emergency. These camps are not subject to the ordinary laws of the land or to normal prison regulations. The prisoners are detained and confined there under harsh and barely livable conditions, which often result in death.
